| Inquiry caption |
Mutualisms exist between species. What about between organisms within the same species? Such organisms will tend to use (and compete for) the same resources. Under what circumstances might they cooperate, as is the case of these musk oxen, in a defensive formation?
[This case was about prey. Can you identify circumstances in which predators, too, might benefit from cooperation?]
Target Concept: Organisms may cooperate when each benefits. |
