symbiosis
(noun)
A close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species
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.

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.

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.
