Grazers Relationship
These Spotted joe-pyeweed leaves display evidence of a grazer relationship similar to the Glade Mallow leaves. An antagonistic relationship of a grazer is different from one a parasite has with its host; a grazer does not manipulate or change the host's physiology. Instead, it only feeds on the plant for nutrients. Grazers are mobile and consume a greater diversity of organisms like this plant and some surrounding plants. The variety in their diet and their mobility affords them from being dependent on the survival of one of its host's like most parasites.
