How do living things affect one another?
Clownfish live among the poisonous and stinging tentacles of sea anemones to avoid being eaten by larger fish. Amazingly, the clownfish do not get stung! This is because a fluid called mucus protects the skin of the fish. How might a sea anemone benefit from having clownfish around?
Watch the Untamed Science video to learn more about interactions between organisms.

Figure 1 shows some organisms that live in, on, and around the saguaro cactus. Each organism has unique characteristics. These characteristics affect the individual’s ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Natural Selection A characteristic that makes an individual better suited to a specific environment may eventually become common in that species through a process called natural selection. Natural selection works like this: Individuals whose unique characteristics are wellsuited for an environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. Offspring that inherit these characteristics also live to reproduce. In this way, natural selection results in adaptations, the behaviors and physical characteristics that allow organisms to live successfully in their environments. For example, the arctic hare has fur that turns from gray to white in the winter which helps camouflage the hare against the snow.
Individuals with characteristics poorly suited to a particular environment are less likely to survive and reproduce. Over time, poorly suited characteristics may disappear from the species. If a species cannot adapt to changes in its environment, the entire species can disappear from Earth and become extinct.

1. If you were looking for your sneakers among several pairs that looked just like yours, what characteristics would make it easier for you to find them?
2. What do you think would happen if a lemur mated with a different kind of lemur?
Go to Planet Diary to learn more about habitats.
Love SongThe gray, golden brown, and Goodman’s mouse lemurs are some of the world’s smallest primates. These three lemurs look similar. Looking so similar makes it difficult for the lemurs to find members of their own kind or species during mat-ing season. However, it seems that the lemurs can identify their own species by song. Scientists recorded the mating calls of the three species of lemurs. They discovered that the lemurs reacted more to the calls from their own species. This allows the lemurs to pick the right mate, even at night.

What Does an Organism Get From Its Environment?If you were to visit Alaska, you might see a bald eagle fly by. A bald eagle is one type of organism, or living thing. Different types of organisms live in different types of surroundings, or environments.
An organism gets food, water, shelter, and other things it needs to live, grow, and reproduce from its environment. An environment that provides the things a specific organism needs to live, grow, and reproduce is called its habitat.
In a forest habitat, mushrooms grow in the damp soil and wood-peckers build nests in tree trunks. Organisms live in different habitats because they have different requirements for survival and reproduction. Some organisms live on a prairie, with its flat terrain, tall grasses, and low rainfall amounts. A prairie dog, like the one shown in Figure 1, obtains the food and shelter it needs from a prairie habitat. It could not survive on this rocky ocean shore. Likewise, the prairie would not meet the needs of a sea star.
