    This poster describes ecological interactions between different species in tropical environments. It shows how the parasitic cowbird leaves its eggs in the nests of oropendulas, relying on the oropendulas to raise its young. Whether the interaction between cowbirds and oropendulas is parasitic or mutualistic depends on whether protective wasp colonies are near the oropendula nests - wasps deter botflies that cowbirds sometimes eat from the nests, making their interaction mutualistic, but in the absence of wasps the cowbirds parasitize the oropendulas.

    Ecological interactions
    Poster: Daniela Robayo Author: Dr Thomas Lovejoy Book: Tropical Nature

    Interactions between 2 differents


    species. The signs indicate the effect of
    one specie to the other. The chart
    reprents typical ecologial interactions.

    The brood parasit Gigant Cowbird


    (Scaphidura oryzivora)
    This bird parasite other species nests such as
    oropendolas. Cowbirds leaves their egg into the
    nest of oropendolas so that they care and feed the
    cowbird progeny.

    Oropendula clade
    (Zarhynchus wagleri)
    The interaction that cowbirds will have
    with oropendulas will depend on
    weather or not a protective wasp or
    bees commuinty leaves near of
    oropendulas.

    Polybia clade
    When clades of Polybia and other types of wasps
    and bees protect themselves from predators also
    protect other animals that leaves near them like
    oropendulas. This interaction between this two
    species is called commensalism. If colonies of

    Botflies. Philornis clade


    Botflies are parasitic larvae that eat oropendulas
    when they are in its nesting period. When
    oropendulas nests are far away from protective
    wasps and bees cowbirds eat this parasitic larvae.
    The interactions between cowbirds and
    oropendulas become mutualistic. If wasps are
    present the interaction between cowbirds and
    oropendulas is parasitic.
