[QUOTE=levdrakon] Wouldn’t that be parasitism, rather than symbiosis? [/QUOTE] If I recall correctly, symbiosis covers a bunch of stuff, including parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism. On the other hand, I took high school biology in 1969-70, so I might not recall correctly. ---

On the other hand, I took high school biology in 1969-70, so I might not recall correctly. [/QUOTE] I was taught a slightly different definition: symbiosis was a form of parasitism where the parasite actually provided a benefit to the host organism. However, considering I’ve seen serious attempts to describe predator-prey relationships in terms of symbiotic relationships _for the species_, I’m not about to say there’s no one who claims that fleas are symbiotes. ---
