Phorothesis is a term that refers to a symbiotic relationship where one organism, typically a smaller one, attaches itself to another for transportation. In this context, the smaller organism benefits by gaining mobility and access to resources, while the larger host is generally unaffected. The primary "production" in phorothesis is the movement of the smaller organism, facilitating its survival and growth. This relationship can be seen in various ecological interactions, such as certain species of barnacles hitching rides on whales.
