Symbiosis : A Very Short Introduction
Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, InspiringSymbiosis, the sustained and intimate associations between unrelated life forms, is now recognized as a ubiquitous phenomenon, one that has shaped evolution since the origin of life and that continues to affect all species.This overview of symbiosis starts with a quick history of relevant early discoveries and researchers, and considers why symbiosis was so long neglected as a respectable topic of biological research and why it was a controversial topic.Today, symbiosis is widely appreciated as being everywhere in nature and as a pervasive influence on ecological communities.One chapter explores the fundamental drivers that lead to symbiotic associations, using examples ranging from sap-feeding insects to marine flatworms to coniferous forests to illustrate the nature of services exchanged between symbiotic partners.Another considers the evolutionary stability of symbiotic partnerships, which can quickly decay in the face of symbiotic cheating. Certain symbioses that have had an outsized impact on life on Earth, and on Earth itself, are given particular attention.A full chapter is devoted to the most consequential of all symbioses: the origin of the complex (eukaryotic) cell, and the origin of chloroplasts and green plants.Other triumphs of symbiosis described include the root-fungus associations that enabled plants to colonize land 450 million years ago, gut microbial communities that empower animals to utilize a wide range of foods including plant fiber wood and sap, and coral-algal symbioses that resulted in the rise of coral reefs. Analyses of genomic DNA have been important in symbiosis research, and this Very Short Introduction describes these molecular approaches, explaining how they sparked discovery of previously unknown symbionts, including those in our own bodies.Molecular data also have enabled us to understand the roles of symbionts within hosts, and the ages of symbiont-host associations, which range from hundreds of millions of years to very recent. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Symbiosis: The Curriculum and the Classroom
Has our system of accountability and quick fixes meant we've lost perspective of what can really improve the quality of education?With a multitude of issues at the heart of some of our more toxic schools, including micro-management, over-complicated policy and the intricate measurement of the wrong foci, it appears that teachers are experiencing a disconnect from the very reason they joined teaching in the first place.With little autonomy over what's important, fewer teachers enter the profession than the monumental amount of teachers that are leaving, and those that do, do so with reluctance and regret. With an astute examination of practice in schools, Claire Hill and Kat Howard take a thoughtful and strategic view of how to ensure a sense of connection and cohesion within schools, to ensure that all feel part of the collective curricular journey towards a gold standard.With a consideration of research-informed practice, this book will provide a series of strategies for curriculum designers at every level, keeping the high quality teachers that we very much need in schools, and providing a better palette to students in the process.At a time where teaching is somewhat politicised, monetised and overcomplicated, Symbiosis: Curriculum and the Classroom sets about the task of refining the way in which we run our schools to improve the quality of our everyday lives in schools.

Deadly Symbiosis : The Rise of Neoliberal Penalty
This outstanding book explores the rise of prison populations in the US, in Britain and in other European countries, as well as in Latin America.Beginning with a rich, ethnographic account of being inside the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles, the author moves on to develop an argument about the connections between neoliberalism as a political doctrine, and incarceration as a social policy.Loic Wacquant reveals that the growing symbiosis between politics, the media, immigration and penal institutions are transforming the definition, treatment and representation of crime, justice and citizenship not only in the United States but also in Europe and Latin America.In the age of unfettered markets and enfeebled social-welfare states, the penal system is a major engine of social stratification, urban change and cultural demarcation in its own right.It remakes those segments of the city onto which it latches in its own image, turning them into devices for the expurgation of dispossessed groups and the symbolic destruction of important urban ills. Deadly Symbiosis is a timely book, which offers a rigorous and engaging account of why the penal system must be put at the centre of social inquiry, political reflection and civic action today.

Symbiosis or Parasitism?
Symbiosis refers to a mutually beneficial relationship between two different species, where both organisms benefit from the interaction. On the other hand, parasitism is a type of relationship where one organism benefits at the expense of the other, causing harm to the host organism. To determine whether a relationship is symbiotic or parasitic, it is important to consider the impact of the interaction on both species involved.
-
What is a gfs symbiosis?
A gfs symbiosis is a mutually beneficial relationship between two or more organisms where one organism provides a necessary resource or service to the other in exchange for a different resource or service. This type of symbiosis is characterized by a close and long-term interaction between the organisms involved. The gfs symbiosis allows each organism to thrive and benefit from the partnership, ultimately leading to the success and survival of both parties.
-
What are examples of symbiosis?
Examples of symbiosis include mutualism, where both organisms benefit from the relationship, such as the relationship between bees and flowers. Another example is commensalism, where one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed, like the relationship between barnacles and whales. Parasitism is another form of symbiosis, where one organism benefits at the expense of the other, such as ticks feeding on the blood of mammals.
-
Are synergy and symbiosis synonyms?
Synergy and symbiosis are not synonyms. Synergy refers to the interaction or cooperation of two or more elements to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. Symbiosis, on the other hand, is a mutually beneficial relationship between two different organisms. While both concepts involve interaction and cooperation, they differ in the nature of the relationship and the entities involved.

Management of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis for Mycoremediation and Phytostabilization
Management of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis for Mycoremediation and Phytostabilization overviews the many advances that have been made in mycorrhizal research and practice.Many microorganisms are present in plant rhizosphere, among which root-associated mycorrhizal fungi are ancient fungi that have evolved along with the evolution of plants.Mycorrhizal fungi of the soil can colonize more than 80% of terrestrial plant roots, where the mycorrhizal symbiosis helps the host to obtain water and nutrients, in exchange of lipids and sugars from the host plant to the mycorrhizal fungus for its life history.The mycorrhizal extraradical mycelium can extend beyond the root zone, enabling the absorption of water and nutrients from the soil.Thus, the reciprocal symbiosis can provide an important technology for crop reduction of fertilizer inputs and environmental stewardship.Mycorrhizal fungal fertilizers have been produced commercially in Europe, Asia, and North America, which provides strong support for mycorrhizal applications in agriculture and environmental field.Therefore, there is a great need to summarize the recent research results and bring them together in a book.This book provides soil scientists and mycorrhizal researchers with a comprehensive overview of new advances in mycorrhizal fungi.It may also serve as a reference for professionals in adjacent fields working in environmental management, microbiology, and crop science.

How would you explain symbiosis?
Symbiosis is a biological relationship between two different species that live in close proximity to each other. This relationship can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral for one or both of the species involved. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships: mutualism, where both species benefit; commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected; and parasitism, where one species benefits at the expense of the other. Symbiosis is a fundamental concept in ecology and is essential for understanding the interconnectedness of different organisms in an ecosystem.

What is the symbiosis in moss?
In moss, there is a symbiotic relationship between the moss plant and certain species of fungi. This relationship is known as mycorrhizal symbiosis, where the fungi help the moss plant absorb water and nutrients from the soil, while the moss provides the fungi with organic compounds produced through photosynthesis. This mutually beneficial relationship allows both the moss and the fungi to thrive in their environment.
