Symbiosis

commensalism

• Remora/Shark: Remoras attach themselves to a shark's body. They travel with the shark and feed on the

  leftover food scraps after the shark has finished its meal. The shark is unaffected as it's

  done eating anyway

• Barnacle/Whale: Barnacles create home sites by attaching themselves to whales. As the barnacle is a filter

  feeder, it also gets access to more water (and more food) due to the relationship. Whale

  is unaffected.

• Ostrich/Gazelle: Ostriches and gazelles feed next to each other. They both watch for predators. Because

  the visual abilities of the two species are different, they can each identify threats that the

  other animal may not see as readily. Both species benefit.

• Cuckoo/Warbler: A cuckoo lays its eggs in the nest of the warbler. The cuckoo's eggs hatch first and the

  young kick the warbler eggs out of the nest. The warbler raises the cuckoo babies and

  the warbler babies aren't hatched.

mutualism

• Ant/Aphid: Ants offer protection for the aphids who (have no protective features of their own) would

  otherwise would be food for all sorts of organisms. The aphids "repay" the ants by

  providing honeydew (a liquid they secrete) for the ants to use as food.

commensalism

• Hermit Crab/Shell: Hermit crabs will move into an old abandoned shell when their shell is no longer big

  enough to contain them. As the shell is inanimate (not living) it is not affected by this

  relationship.

• Ant/Aphid: Ants offer protection for the aphids who (have no protective features of their own) would

  otherwise would be food for all sorts of organisms. The aphids "repay" the ants by

  providing honeydew (a liquid they secrete) for the ants to use as food.

• Wrasse Fish/Black Sea

  Bass: Wrasse fish feed on the parasites found on the black sea bass's body (usually in the

  mouth). Dental floss for fish—both species benefit

• Oxpecker/Rhinoceros: Oxpeckers (bird) feed on the ticks found on a rhinoceros. Both species benefit...the

  oxpecker gets food and the rhino gets rid of a parasite.
