A symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits and the second member is neither helped nor harmed is called ______?

A symbiotic relationship in which one member benefits and the second member is neither helped nor harmed is called commensalism. Examples of commensalism • Cattle egrets and livestock: The egrets follow grazing animals, eating the insects that are stirred up by their movement. The birds benefit from the easy meal, while the cattle are unaffected. • Barnacles and whales: Barnacles attach themselves to the skin of whales. This allows them to travel to nutrient-rich waters and feed, while the whale is not noticeably harmed or helped by the presence of the barnacles. • Hermit crabs and gastropod shells: After a sea snail dies, a hermit crab may take its empty shell for a home. The crab gets a protective shelter, and the deceased snail receives no benefit or harm. • Epiphytic plants and trees: Epiphytes, like some orchids, grow on the surface of trees to get a better position for sunlight. They don't take any nutrients from the tree itself, so the tree is unaffected
