Wellcome to my
presentation on
commensalism
Q- Give an account of commensalism
?

Commensalism is a type of relationship
between two living organisms in which one
organism benefits from the other without
harming it. A commensal species benefits
from another species by obtaining
locomotion, shelter, food, or support from the
host species, which (for the most part)
neither benefits nor is harmed.
Commensalism ranges from brief
interactions between species to life-long
symbiosis.
Terms Related to Commensalism.
 Commensalism is often
confused with related
words:
Mutualism – Mutualism is
a relationship in which
two organisms benefit
from each other.
 Amensalism – A
relationship in which
one organism is
harmed while the other
is not affected.
 Parasitism - A
relationship in which
one organism benefits
and the other is
harmed.
Examples of Commensalism
 Remora fish have a disk on
their heads that makes them
able to attach to larger
animals, such as sharks,
mantas, and whales. When the
larger animal feeds, the remora
detaches itself to eat the extra
food.
 Tree frogs use plants as
protection.

 Golden jackals, once they
have been expelled from a
pack, will trail a tiger to feed
on the remains of its kills.
 Goby fish live on other sea
animals, changing color to
blend in with the host, thus
gaining protection from
predators.
 Cattle egrets eat the insects
stirred up by cattle when they
are grazing. The cattle are
unaffected, while the birds
gain food.
