Can you send me some examples of commensalistic symbiosis please?

Laura

Dear Laura,
Have a look through this "Symbiosis and commensalism" page. There are pictures at the top and answers to some other questions below.

Just a general point, I would like the Sea Slug Forum to be a two way street. I don't mind answering questions but it is nice to have some idea who is asking, why they are interested etc. It is also interesting to other participants in the Forum.

If I have some idea of why you are asking the question, and at what educational level you are at, it helps me to give an appropriate answer.

If I get some feedback, or background information, it makes me feel less like an anonymous machine regurgitating answers to anonymous questions.

Basically it would be nice to know where you are from, why you are interested or whether you are 6 or 60. And I'm afraid your email address didn't come through either, so I can't let you know this message has been posted.

Hope to hear from you,
Bill Rudman
