Some examples of symbiotic relationships in nature include:
-
Mutualism: where both species benefit from the relationship, such as the relationship between bees and flowers where bees pollinate flowers while obtaining nectar.
-
Commensalism: where one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed, such as barnacles attaching themselves to whales to catch food particles in the water.
-
Parasitism: where one species benefits at the expense of the other, such as ticks feeding on the blood of mammals.
These are just a few examples of the various types of symbiotic relationships that can be found in nature.
