It seems like you are now saying that the remora-shark symbiotic relationship is now MUTUALISM. Is this correct?

As a high school teacher I am reminded of how many symbiosis nurtured students attached themselves to me, and I don't think it was hero worship. Hard to hurt their feelings, but they needed to get a life. I called them barnacle-buddies. ----please, draw me a sheep---- #181971 - 01/22/09 10:17 PM Re: Symbiosis [Re: LukeJavan8]   Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,981 LukeJavan8 Carpal Tunnel LukeJavan8   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 8,981 Land of the Flat Water By the way, welcome to the forum, Big Joe.

Some think commensalism others mutualism,(don't wanna be a remora). link Quote: As a high school teacher I am reminded of how many symbiosis nurtured students attached themselves to me, and I don't think it was hero worship.

The only biology I studied formally took place 55 years ago. I still know though that the head bone connected to the neck bone have parts that are called a frontal, a temporal, and an occipital. But, (there's a conjunction that is beginning a sentence [that's relative to another list on this forum]) don't sharks benefit from the presence remoras? Don't remoras serve as a kind of vacuum cleaner for a shark's skin?
