They have solved this problem by evolving the longest penis relative to their body size of any animal. In this video the penises of several barnacles are probing the neighborhood for mates. The penis is re-grown each mating season. Check out creaturecast.org for more.

We usually don't think of babies that grow inside their mothers as parasites, but sometimes the lines get very blurry. This is especially true in Narcomedusae, a group of poorly known jellyfish found throughout the world's oceans. Some species of Narcomedusae (affectionately called narcos by the people that study them) can grow inside their own mother, who provides nourishment and a safe environment. The narco babies can then leave their mother, find another jellyfish of an entirely different species, attach to its flesh, and thrive on the nourishment and safe environment that it provides. The physiological interaction of baby and host is similar in both cases - the host provides, the baby takes. But in one case the host is providing for its own offspring, in the other it is providing for somebody else's offspring.

Thanks to Rebecca Helm (brown.edu/Faculty/Dunn_Lab/index.php?subject=People) and Fabien Lombard (fabien.lombard1.free.fr/indexengl.htm) for their help translating the wonderful paper on narco life cycles: Bouillon, J. (1987) Considérations sur le developpement des Narcomeduses et sur leur position phylogénétique. Indo-Malayan Zoology 4 : 189-278.

This species, Castanea dentata, is effectively extinct -- thanks to the forces of the ruthless fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, agent in the now infamous chestnut blight.

Shara Azad from Erika Edwards' Plant Diversity course at Brown University (Biol0430) investigates what happened to those thousands of acres of American chestnut forests and what glimmers of hope there may be in the future.
