Mutualism Mutualism is when both species benefits. Ex. A hummingbird drinks the nectar from a dianthus. The dianthus is going to keep on reproducing.
Commensalism Commensalism- is where 1 species benefits and the other is not affected Ex. A crab makes its home in an oyster shell. It receives shelter and grabs food.
Parasitism Parasitism- is when 1 species benefits and the other is harmed. Ex. Is a dog get ticks. They drink the blood from the dog and it can give dogs Lyme disease.
Parasitism I had to take a bunch of ticks off my hunting dogs so they wouldn’t get any diseases.
