other organisms• Competition—two species or organisms

have niche overlap; they share food, water, shelter or mates; one will win and other must adapt through natural selection

TrichinellosisTrichinella spiralis

Commensalism• A symbiotic

relationship where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed or helped. (many are now seen as undefined mutualism)
