Q

• Means “eating at the same table”
• Occurs when one member of the associating pair, usually the smaller, receives all the benefit and the other member is neither benefited nor harmed

Q

• Occurs when each member of the association benefits the other
• Mutuals are metabolically dependent on one another; one cannot survive in the absence of the other
• Often included as a special subcategory of mutualism is cleaning symbiosis
