Species Interactions: 1/26/13

1) Lichen & Coast Live Oak: Here I saw a species of lichen interacting with the niche space of a Coast Live Oak's as it uses the bark of the Oak to support its home

2) Bumble Bee & Flowering Shrub: In this photo I captured a bumble bee interacting with the niche space of a shrub that I found on campus as it pollinates its flowers. The bee helps the plant reproduce, and the plant returns the favor with its pollen!

3) Termite & Coast Live Oak root: Here in this photo I witnessed a termite sharing the niche space of an old decaying oak tree root. The termite is helping to decompose the tree root, but also gets to enjoy the benefits of having a home to live in within the root itself.
