Flower-Animal Association

Plants and animals are two most domineering divisions of nature; they’ve evolved together and are likewise favorable to the world. But are they correspondingly expedient for each other as well? Yes they do have an interdependent relationship and this process of reliance evolution of both the species is called coevolution.

Flower/Herbivore Relationships:

Herbivore is a relation in which a plant (flowers) is consumed by animals. The relationship of a plant and an herbivore traditionally is like a prey and predator. Even insects and animals that eat seeds are considered herbivores.  

However, some researches indicate the fact that except being their ultimate killer few herbivores are also potentially beneficial for plants, like shade cropping insects which allows greater amount of sunlight to penetrate till the inner layers of the plant being victimized.

 

Flowers and Pollinators:

Pollination is the transfer of the pollen grains from one flower to the stigma that is reproductive organ of a plant, of another, resulting in reproduction and, ultimately birth of a new bud turning out to be a flower. Plants are normally pollinated by wind but now many plants can rely on animals for conducting this process for them. Insects, birds, even bats are involved in this fertile process. Bees and these animals get attracted by bright, showy flowers and eventually become part in pollination.

The pollinators, in turn, take advantage of the flowers. Plants (flowers) typically help in enhancing the color vision, sharp memory and strong glandular power within animals who engage themselves in pollination.

Fossil fuels and Germination:

Fossil fuels are is a general term for buried geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure. Moreover, these decayed animals are responsible for making the soil fertile and nutritious thus promoting the growth of more and more plants and flowers.

Plants and Their Dispersers:

Plants (flowers) use send flowers to Philippines variety of ways in order to disperse their seeds; with water, squall and of course animals. Animals play an essential role in seed dispersal of a plant. Many animals consume large variety of fruits and vegetables and when they bleep, seeds are dispersed accordingly.

 And so in this way this predominant relationship and associations benefit both the organisms in one or the other way being mutually valuable, making them equally liable for one and other as they are liable for us humans.  In fact the communal bond and relationship of two that are animals and plants is way stronger than the relation they have with us humans.
