Interaction Between Organisms

What is this Interaction?


Symbiotic Relationships

Symbiosis is a close ecological relationship between the individuals
of two (or more) different species.
Sometimes a symbiotic relationship benefits both species,
sometimes one species benefits at the other's expanse
and in other cases neither species benefits.
Ecologists use a different term for each type of symbiotic relationship:

Mutualism -- both species benefit

Commensalism -- one species benefits, the other is unaffected

Parasitism -- one species benefits, the other is harmed

Competition -- neither species benefits

Pls check the examples for : Saprophytism, epiphytes, epizoytes, parasitism..What else?
