The Science of Symbiosis - Symbiotic Relationships Symbiotic relationships are fundamental to the health and balance of ecosystems. Symbiosis is the interaction between organisms, and this week, we will delve into the different types of symbiotic relationships and their effects on the environment, from mutualism, where both parties benefit, to commensalism, where one benefits without harming the other, and parasitism, where one benefits at the other's expense. We'll uncover the intricate dynamics of these interactions by observing real-world examples in the field. Symbiotic relationships surround us - you just have to know where to look!
