A Quick Guide To Mutualism

The past few weeks in Te Ngahere we have been learning about the mutualistic relationship between Birds and Trees. A mutualistic relationship is a relationship where two organisms benefit from each other. For this activity we had to read two texts and write down how both birds and trees benefit from each other in an ecosystem. 

Birds benefit from this relationship because trees produce berries which is what birds eat. Trees benefit from birds because they help trees with pollination and dispersal.

 I thought that this activity was interesting because I got to learn about something I never knew before. The part I found interesting was realising how much trees rely on birds.

Do you know any other organisms that have a mutualistic relationship?
