The 27 pages that link to Commensalism, each with the reason it gives.

• DomesticationCompared with: Some species entered human environments before people intentionally bred them.

• MutualismCompared with: Unlike mutualism, commensalism has no net benefit to one partner.

• ParasitismCompared with: It resembles parasitism in unequal benefit but lacks substantial host harm.

• ParasiteCompared with: It differs from parasitism in the absence of substantial host harm.

• Host–pathogen interactionCompared with: It contrasts with interactions in which the host is harmed.

• HostCompared with: Unlike parasitism, commensalism does not impose a meaningful cost on the host.

• Plant-animal interactionCompared with: Animal use of plants may benefit the animal without affecting the plant appreciably.

• Virulence factorCompared with: Microbes can persist in hosts without causing the harm associated with virulence.

• CommensalityCompared with: Despite the similar word, this ecological relationship does not mean eating together.

• Parasitic diseaseCompared with: Parasitism harms the host, whereas commensalism does not produce that defining cost.

• OxpeckerCompared with: It contrasts with mutualism when host benefits from oxpecker feeding are negligible.
