Ecology Home Based Learning by Ong Yi Kai(21)

2). Human activities like deforestation will cause most of the trees to disappear and this will greatly affect the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants. The trees are their habitats and without these trees which they use their hair for creating traps to create traps, for catching prey, they will not be able to find food, causing them to starve. Although they might be able to adapt to other methods of catching prey, there is no place for them to inhibit, causing them to be more vulnerable to predators. 


3). Relationships.
 Parasitism---> Allomerus decemarticulatus ants and locusts


Commensalism --> Allomerus decemarticulatus ants and tree


Mutualism-->Allomerus decemarticulatus ants and mould


b)
Parasitism-->Cuckoo and other animals,Cuckoo lay their eggs into the nests of other species, and attacks the hosts after that to raise them


Commensalism--> Tigers and golden jackals, The jackals will attach themselves to a particular tiger, trailing it at a safe distance in order to feed on the big cat's kills


Mutualism--> Clownfish and sea anemones, The sea anemones will act as a habitat for the clownfish and the clownfish will draw prey towards the sea anemones with its bright colour
