Commensalism

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded coffee shop, and you find a small, quiet corner where you can work undisturbed while the hustle and bustle continue around you. This situation is similar to the concept of commensalism in nature, where one species benefits by gaining a resource or advantage without impacting the other species involved. In this analogy, you are like the species that benefits by getting a peaceful workspace, while the coffee shop and its other patrons continue their activities unaffected, much like the host species in a commensal relationship.
