The Symbiotic Relationship Expert


You have been chosen by the Organization for your knowledge on symbiotic relationships.  But, the Organization, realizes that you have probably not kept up on your symbiotic relationship research.  So, we have found some sources that you can review to brush up.  You must take the information from these sources and relate it back to the case at hand.  Find what you can, take notes, and be prepared to report back to your teammates shortly.

Here are a few helpful hints that the Organization has thought of to help you in your research of the above sources.

* Not every person uses the phrase "symbiotic relationship" to mean the same thing.  Define the term for your teammates.

* When the team regroups, let the other two experts speak first and keep a list of the points they make that relate directly to your area of expertise, symbiosis. Then explain to them how all areas relate.
