Which is an example of commensalism?

Answer 1

An example of commensalism is the relationship between cattle egrets (bubulcus ibis) and cattle of any species. Cattle egrets are far more successful in feeding when they hitch a ride along with a bovine, because the bovine disturbs larger quantities of vegetation in which the egret's prey lives, making the hunt easier because the prey is flushed out by munching cattle.

Answer 2

An example of commensalism can be birds such as egrets clinging to the backs of grazing animals such as rhinoceros, to feed on the parasites on their backs, or of clownfish with sea anemones, which live in the anemones unaffected by the paralyzing nematocysts, or the stinging cells. They feed on scraps of food from the anemone's prey and lay their eggs in the anemone's tentacles, and although the anemone does not benefit from the relationship, it is not harmed by it.

Answer 3

Commensalism is where there are two organisms. One benefits from the other and

the 2nd organism is unaffected.

An example of commensalism is the clown fish and sea anemone. The clown fish gets protection from the sea anemone while the anemone gets no benefits or bad things out of it.

Answer 4

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one species lives in side the other...it is similar to parasitism, but the species living inside the other causes no damage towards it

Example 1: ladybugs living inside a flower

Barnacles benefit from living on whales, and they do not hurt the whales. (Novanet/Gradpoint)
