| | Human "Commensalism" |
 | | This commensal relationship may be an alternative to what many see as a the allegedly zero sum relationship of the market place, whereby the gain of some must involve the loss of others. | | | Most folks do not mind commensal relationships so they do not feel the need to attempt to cash in on every benefit they confer upon others, so long as they do gain those benefits they had in mind to obtain in the first place. | | | We can, though because of certain human attributes such as jealousy and envy not shared with other animals, enjoy benefits from what others do even if indirectly, by piggy backing on their efforts and gaining opportunities in the meanwhile. |

| | Commensalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In ecology, commensalism is an interaction between two living organisms, where one organism benefits and the other is not affected. | | | The question of whether the relationship between humans and some types of our gut flora is commensal or mutualistic is still unanswered. | | | Some biologists argue that any close interaction between two organisms is unlikely to be completely neutral for either party, and that relationships identified as commensal are likely mutualistic or parasitic in a subtle way that has not been detected. |

| | ReefSlides - August '04 - Commensalism & Mutualism Explored |
| | The transition from a commensal relationship to true mutualism or, conversely, to a parasitic relationship, appears to be easily accomplished, and there are numerous examples of closely related animals exhibiting these different aspects of symbioses. | | | Yet other species of Periclimenes turn the usual shrimp and anemone relationship onto its head. | | | So, while the shrimp may be a commensal on its anemone, it may simultaneously be involved in a mutualistic relationship with some of the fish in its community. |
