Pertaining to, or characterized by, or living in, a state of symbiosis.
Subject: The Earth Literally "living together". Symbiosis is the living together in intimate association of two dissimilar organisms. Reef-forming corals are a good example of symbiosis in which dinoflagellate algae (called zooxanthellae) reside within the tissues of the host animal (a colonial anthozoan).[ Pics List
Mutually beneficial. eg: A relationship where a small fish eats the parasites of a larger fish. (see Cleaning Station)
The ability of two life forms to live within one organism, each providing nutrients and/or shelter for the other.
refers to an ecological relationship between two organisms. The relationship may be beneficial or detrimental to one or both organisms.
Two (or more) different organism which are necessary or beneficial to the other's survival
Occasionally in nature, two species will work together for mutual benefit; such a relationship is called a symbiosis. For example, wildebeest and zebras are often found grazing together, despite the fact that they are both grazing on the same plant material. The benefit is that there are many more eyes looking out for predators, and so both animals are safer together than they would be in separate herds. Other symbiotic relationships might be similarly of mutual benefit and freely entered into (humans and pets for example!), or they can be obligatory (such as the relationship between a fungus and an alga that makes up a lichen).
a biological relationship in which two or more dissimilar organisms mutually benefit by living in close association with each other.
A biological relationship which benefits both parties.
A relationship where two or more different kinds of animals live together and both benefit in some way from the other's company. The most famous example is the clownfish and the anemone.
a close relationship between 2 species that benefits at least one of them
used of organisms (especially of different species) living together but not necessarily in a relationship beneficial to each
a relationship between two or more different organisms of different species that does not necessarily benefit each member.
Relationship of two dissimilar species living together.
Pertaining to dependence or interdependence between different organisms.
the relationship between two interacting organisms or populations.
a close association between the individuals of pairs of species often leading to mutual gains
mutually intimate and interdependent
growing together for mutual benefit.
a relationship between 2 or more organisms
refers to the intimate relationship between two organisms often resulting in mutualism (win-win), parasitism (win-lose), or commensalism (win-no harm). Talus: an adjacent slope at the base of a steep incline characterized by unsorted rocky rubble.
A phenomenon where two different organisms live together in a mutually beneficial relationship. Both organisms in provide each other with food, protection, or some other survival need. The most famous example is the anemone and clownfish. The anemone provides protection to the clownfish within its stinging tentacles, and the clownfish provides the anemone with scraps of food.
Referring to the relationship of dissimilar organisms, which consort together in a mutual advantageous partnership.
a relationship in which two or more dissimilar organisms live together in close association.
Sim-bEE-OT-ihk) Pertaining to a relationship between two dissimilar but interdependant organisms. This relationship is sometimes of the host-parasite variety, but to be symbiotic, it must be mutually beneficial.
