Three types of symbiosis
There three types of symbiosis: Parasitism, Mutualism, Commensalism. In mutualism, both organisms benefit from each other. In commensalism, one organism benefits while the other organism is unaffected. In, parasitism, one organism benefits while one is harmed.
Parasitism: The praying mantis and wasp
In the Mojave Desert, USA the wasp will lay its eggs inside the eggs of praying mantis. So when the wasps hatch, they will feed on the larvae inside the mantis eggs then makes it way out of the egg.
Mutualism: Desert bee and Cactus
In some deserts, bees will depend on cacti since they're a major food source for them. As cacti depends on bees to pollinate them so they can continue to reproduce.
Commensalism: The cactus wren and the Cholla cactus
In the desert, the Cactus Wren will make its nest in the tall Cholla Cactus to protect its young offspring from predators. The cactus is not harmed but not benefited.
