A symbiotic relationship in which one member is benefited and the second is neither harmed nor benefited.
A biological relationship in which one organism (animal or plant) lives with, on or in another without injury to either. Adamantly denied by bio-ignoramuses in order to maintain their ludicrous belief that "dependence" has anything to do with the scientific definition of biological life. See also DENIAL.
A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits, and the other species is neither helped nor harmed
association between two species in which one of pair benefits.
a relationship in which one population receives a benefit from an association while the other is neither benefited nor harmed.
An association between individuals of two species in which one organism benefits without harming the other one.
a symbiotic relationship between two species in which one organism benefits, and the other is not harmed.
the relation between two different kinds of organisms when one receives benefits from the other without damaging it
A relationship in which a guest organism lives on or in a host organism. The guest organism benefits from the relationship, but the host is neither helped nor harmed
A simple type of positive interaction in which one population benefits and the other is not affected to any measurable degree.
A relationship between two organisms where one species is helped, but the other is unaffected. See the Relationships page for more explanation.
A close and permanent association between two populations of organisms in which one population benefits without damaging or benefiting the other.
co-MEN-sal-izm A symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits without affecting the other member. 434
One organism benefits while the other is neither harmed nor benefits. Example: Moss growing on trees benefits by being raised above the forest floor competition, while the tree doesn't get much out of the deal either way.
a type of interaction involving the joint utilisation of food, although the relationship is rarely equal, generally one member provides the food and the other consumes some part of it.
A symbiotic relationship between two organisms of different species in which one derives some benefit while the other is unaffected.
Commensalism - The act of one organism taking residence upon another living organism, such as a worm building its tube on a clam shell (contrast with parasitism).
An association between two organisms in which one benefits without hurting the other (host).
Interaction in which one species is favored and the other is unaffected. Examples: shark and remora - the remora shares the kill but contributes little or nothing to the shark; orchids grow on, but do not affect, other trees. (Compare to amensalism, competition, mutualism, neutralism, parasitism, symbiosis.)
Symbiosis in which neither organism is injured; one or neither may be benefited. ( 20)
form of relationship in which one species gains from the interaction and the other is neither positively nor negatively affected.
Interaction between organisms of different species in which one type of organism benefits and the other type is neither helped nor harmed to any great degree. Compare mutualism.
An interaction in which one organism (or species) beneficially affects a second organism (or species), but the second has no effect (good or bad) on the first.
An inter-organism interaction in which one organism is aided by the interaction and the other is neither benefited nor harmed.
A type of symbiosis in which one species benefits but the other species is neither harmed or benefited by the relationship. Certain mites that live in the skin of our faces are a good example.
A form of symbiosis in which only one of the animals benefits from the relationship.
a form of symbiosis in which one species profits with no apparent benefit or cost on the other speecies (e.g. cattle egrets)(see also mutualism)

A relationship between two species in which one benefits while the other is not disadvantaged
Commensalism is a situation in which two organisms are associated in a relationship in which one benefits from the relationship and the other is not affected much. The two animals are called commensals. The shark and the pilot fish (and remora) are commensals - the pilot fish benefits much more than the shark. Another example is vermiliads (plants living on trees in rainforests) and frogs; the frogs get shelter and water from the vermiliad but the vermiliad is unaffected. Commensalism is a type of symbiosis.
A symbiotic relationship in which one organism, the commensal, benefits without causing any detriment to the other organism, the host.
An interaction between two species in which one benefits while the other is neither harmed nor helped.
A symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other is not affected.
Commensalism is an interaction between two living organisms, where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. As with all ecological interactions, commensalisms vary in strength and duration from intimate, long-lived symbioses to brief, weak interactions through intermediaries. The term commensalism derives from the Latin com mensa, meaning sharing a table.
