  Protocooperation - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Protocooperation is where two species interact with each other beneficially; they have no need to interact with each other they interact purely for the gain that they receive from doing this.
It is not at all necessary for protocooperation to occur; growth and survival is possible in the absence of the interaction.
Protocooperation is a form of mutualism, but they do not depend on each other for survival.

 Highbeam Encyclopedia - Search Results for Mutualism
Strictly, the term may be confined to obligatory mutualism, in which neither species can survive under natural conditions without the other.
Sometimes the term is used more generally to include protocooperation.
protocooperation (facultative mutualism) An interaction between organisms of different species in which both organisms benefit, but neither is dependent on the relationship.

 BBC - h2g2 - Mutualism
An example of protocooperation occurs between soil bacteria or fungi, and higher plants growing in the soil.
A further example of protocooperation is the relationship between ants and aphids.
Plants whose flowers are pollinated by insects and birds benefit from protocooperation.

While the terminology was developed for macroecology, examples of all of these types of interactions can be found in the natural world at both the macroscopic and microscopic level.
Protocooperation is a form of mutualism, but the organisms involved do not depend exclusively on each other for survival.
Many of the microbes isolated and classified as BCAs can be considered facultative mutualists involved in protocooperation, because survival rarely depends on any specific host and disease suppression will vary depending on the prevailing environmental conditions.

Interactions between two species may be positive, such as scavenging, commensalism, protocooperation, mutualism and plant animal interdepedence, or negative such as amensalism, competiton, parasitism and predation.
Commensalism is the relationship of two species of which the smaller one is benefited and the larger one is unaffected.
Protocooperation is an association of two species both of which are benefited but cannot be equally well without association.

 Microbial Ecology- Part I
Intearction between two microbial populations can positively or negatively affect one or both populations; a neutral outcome is also possible.
Synergism (protocooperation): Both populatiosn benefit but the association is not obligatory and both populations can survive on their own.
It can be difficult to judge whether the relationship is mutualistic (mutualism is an obligatory association), synergistic (not obligatory) or a commensalistic one (one population can replace the other).

His research demonstrated that an unconscious drive existed among many species of animals for their fellow individuals, such that undercrowding was detrimental to some animals.
Allee also noted what he called "protocooperation," an unconscious cooperation among animals.
He believed this evolved in the higher animals to become both unconscious and conscious cooperation creating levels of community organization.

 AllRefer - Species: Range Ratany | Krameria parvifolia > Botanical and ecological characteristics
The root system is shallow, with 40 percent of the root mass in the top 4 inches (10 cm) of the soil, and spreads horizontally and radially [36].
The roots form grafts with members of the same or different species forming protocooperation or a parasitic relationship.
These relationships and the hypothesis that range ratany obtains atmospheric moisture through its foliage may explain how it can maintain active growth after soil moisture has dropped below 3 percent [35].

Ecological succession is a development sequence in which plant communities, or seres, succeed one another as they progress to a stable climax, the most complex community of organisms possible in an area.
Human activity on Earth is rapidly decreasing biodiversity by contributing to extinctions through dispersing competing organisms, hunting, fire, habitat alteration, and fragmentation.

The floral arrangement of some orchid species is specialized to attract certain insect pollinators which in turn become specialized to extract pollen and nectar from the orchid.
Coevolution can result in protocooperation (which is nonobligatory) evolving into an obligatory mutualistic association.
In summary, evolutionary ecologists study how ecological factors can act as agents of natural selection to modify characteristics and relationships within and between species over long periods of time.

 BIL 161 Symbiosis Project: A Sample to Guide You
It remains to be seen whether some of the more subtle forms of symbiosis (e.g., parasitism, commensalism, protocooperation, mutualism, competition) are really operating in your system.
If environmental conditions in the symbionts' natural habitat were exactly the same as those in the environmental chamber, this might be so.
Although further studies are necessary to confirm this, it is not likely that A. lepidomyces could survive alone in the habitat in which it is found in association with C. viridis.

In both of these competitive relations, the energy expenditure of one individual inhibits the needs satisfaction of another, so that either benefits are reduced or energy costs increased.
There are three forms of cooperation: commensualism, where one partner receives benefits and the other is unaffected; protocooperation, where both partners receive benefits but the relationship is not obligatory for either; and mutualism, where both partners receive benefits and the relationship is obligatory for both.
In all of these cooperative relations, the energy expenditure of one individual facilitates the need satisfaction of another, so that benefits are increased or energy costs reduced.
