commensalism
|
Bromeliads, to get enough light, grow on high branches of trees. This does not do any damage to the tree itself, but it allows the bromeliad to survive.
Many frogs, like the poison dart frog and the Gaudy Leaf Frog, shows commensalism by the frogs benefiting from using the vermiliad leaves as shelter from sun and rain. While the veriliad is unaffected by the frogs. commensalism is happening when seeds travel on animals with Fur, like a sloth. Often, a seed or a seed pod will fall onto the sloth who then walks through the forest. The seed will then fall off and plant itself, growing a new tree. The plants are benefiting and the animals are unharmed in this example of commensalism. |
