The higher order category must be suitable for The membrane in which the Glochidia are
the lower order sublevels. enclosed.
Method of infecting fish host
Ex. Ecosystem refers to both physical The conglutinate membrane resembles fish
environment and population of organisms. prey (lure), trick the fish.
Ex. 1 Ex. 2 On a line attached to the mussel.
Glochidia released from conglutinate
membrane when fish approaches.
Unionid Strategy #2: Host Capture
Mussel grips host and pumps Glochidia in
Simple Lure:
Modified mantle tissue catch fish attention
Complex Lure:
Mantle tissue mimics fish (host) prey
Evolution: Advantages and Disadvantages of Lure
Complexity?
What Is it? Advantages Disadvantages
genetic change Enables attraction of Mussels utilize more

population reproduction complex lures
not necessarily good or bad (obligate parasitism) (conglutinates) to

Why Study it? more specialized the fish.
To manage exploitation host fish
*we eat the big fish out of the population, Developmental Perspective:
that’s artificial/human selection Different lure complexity, not necessarily “less
To understand mutating bacteria (antibiotic evolved”, just not trying to attract the same host
resistance) fish, or can reproduce with a larger variety of
host fish, …requires less complexity.
Unionid Larvae Mussels: Ecological Perspective:
Greater lure complexity dictates type of host
Life Cycle: fish, mimicry of host fish’s prey to trick

2. Larva (Glochidia) (obligate parasitism phase). As complexity
