Examples of symbiosis in the following topics:

  • Mutualism vs. Symbiosis

    • Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms: it can be mutualistic (both benefit), commensal (one benefits), or parasitic.
    • Symbiosis is any relationship between two or more biological species.
    • Common types of symbiosis are categorized by the degree to which each species benefits from the interaction:
    • Symbiosis can also be characterized by an organism's physical relationship with its partner.
  • The Legume-Root Nodule Symbiosis

  • Symbiosis

    • Some scientists believe that these are the only true examples of symbiosis.
  • Squid-Aliivibrio Symbiosis

    • Once A. fischeri has passed these hurdles at the opening of the light organ, it can colonize chambers of the light organ and begin enjoying the benefits of symbiosis.
  • Symbiosis between Bacteria and Eukaryotes

  • Introduction to Sustainable Production Locations

    • In layman's terms, industrial ecology (also known in a more limited manner as ‘industrial symbiosis') involves arranging businesses in a way so that wastewater, emissions, wastes and other outputs from one or more of the participating businesses can be used as raw materials by one or more of the others.
  • Building a closed-loop eco-industrial park

    • Maintaining ‘anchor tenants' (usually in the form of a wastewater treatment facility or an energy producer) whose continued presence and outputs make industrial symbiosis practical.
  • Gammaproteobacteria

    • Some Gammaproteobacteria are methane oxidizers, and many of them are in symbiosis with geothermic ocean vent dwelling animals.
  • Early Discoveries in Nitrogen Fixation

    • In addition to having discovered this biochemical reaction vital to soil fertility and agriculture, Beijerinck is responsible for the discovery of this classic example of symbiosis between plants and bacteria.
  • The Interactionist Perspective

    • Evolving out of the mid-20th century "Chicago School" of urban sociology, Park created the term human ecology, which borrowed the concepts of symbiosis, invasion, succession, and dominance from the science of natural ecology.
