Q

What did Mereschkowski argue?

A

That evolution is only possible via symbiosis
Used lichens as an example of the evolutionary innovation arising from symbiosis

18
Q

What did Elenkin argue?

A

Insisted on describing lichen symbiosis as a tug-of-war rather than a friendly mutualism

19
Q

What is Margulis known for?

A

Recognized as the discoverer of bacterial origin of mitochondria

20
Q

How do we know which type of symbiosis is occurring>

A

Effect on host
Goods or services exchanged
Types of transmission
Interdependence
Effect on genomes

21
Q

What is a host?

A

When the partner is larger and easy to see, or when it is clearly parasitized

22
Q

What is the difference between open and closed symbiosis?

A

Open = the host can encounter other partners
Closed = the partner range is limited

23
Q

What is auxotrophy?

A

An organism that does not have the machinery to make something essential

24
Q

What are goods and services exchanged or syntrophy restricted to?

A

Open systems

25
Q

What does extracellular secretion lend itself to?

A

Symbiosis

26
Q

Biological market: AM fungi

A

Fungus receives: C for growth
Partner receives: P, N
Other partners? Yes, open market

27
Q

Biological market: EM fungi

A

Fungus receives: C for growth
Partner receives: P, N
Other partners? Yes, open market

28
Q

Biological market: Lichen fungi

A

Fungus receives: sugars for cell preservation
Partner receives: Protection against herbivory, UV light
Other partners? Yes, open market

29
Q

Biological market: Insect fungi

A

Fungus receives: ?
Partner receives: essential amino acids
Other partners: depends, some open and some closed

30
Q

Are species fixed to a lifestyle?

A

No
Shift in emphasis from status to function

31
Q

What is a cooperative partner?

A

May take a fair amount of P for a given amount of C

32
Q

What is a non-cooperative partner?

A

May take more C for the same amount

33
Q

What is a cheater partner?

A

May take C and give nothing in return

34
Q

What is vertical transmission?

A

Like Soredia - co-transmission

35
Q

What is horizontal transmission?

A

Couples disassemble and regenerate every cycle

36
Q

What is leaky vertical transmission?

A

It is like vertical transmission but lots of mistakes are made
Other organisms might get into the packages

37
Q

What is the effect of genomes on symbiosis?

A

Genome sizes tend to be smaller with vertical transmission than with horizontal transmission

38
Q

What is the effect of fitness on symbiosis?

A

Host fitness drop is higher with vertical transmission
Host fitness drop is higher when the symbiont function is nutritional

39
Q

What do most plastids have?

A

Symbiotic origins

40
Q

What is a holobiont?

A

An assemblage of a host and many other species living in or around it, which form a discrete ecological unit through symbiosis
