An example of commensalism in the marine ecosystem is that of the remora and whales. Remora attach themselves to the whales and ride and eat scraps, but the whales neither gain nor are harmed by this relationship.

What is an example of commensalism in an ecosystem, and how does it demonstrate the relationship between two species?

An example of commensalism in an ecosystem is the relationship between a remora fish and a shark. The remora fish attaches itself to the shark's body and benefits by getting a free ride and access to food scraps left by the shark. The shark is not affected by the presence of the remora fish. This demonstrates a one-sided relationship where one species benefits (the remora fish) while the other is neither harmed nor helped (the shark).
