I know you folks can do this one, lots of options. I was also corrected on my definition of symbiotic by my lovely girlfriend who needs to remember she's an engineer now not a biologist, you've been converted.
Anyways I guess they don't both have to benefit as there are three types of symbiotic relationships. I'll probably be corrected again but: 1) Both benefit 2) One benefits 3) Neither benefit I would love to see examples of all these! Oh and if you disagree on the definition let me know cause I love feeding the fire

Can you give an example of a symbiotic relationship where neither benefits? I'm not challenging your definition, I'm just really curious!

So the relationship between me and my wallet is what? #2? #3? Maybe we need a 2.5.

That's a good one, Catherine. For #3, I was thinking Britney Spears and K-Fed....but I don't think I'll be able to get a picture of them anytime soon.

Wait there's more!
Mutualism: both species benefit Commensalism: one species benefits, the other is unaffected Parasitism: one species benefits, the other is harmed Competition: neither species benefits Neutralism: both species are unaffected Not sure if all those are right, but I guess there are many types, more than listed so have fun with this one. I'll leave the examples up to you.
