A Leopard and a Lion in a forest/grassland This is an example of interspecific Competition. The two species fight for similar resources. A Cuckoo laying egg in a Crow's nest This is an example of Brood parasitism. The bird lays egg in the nest of crow. Fungi and root of a higher plant in Mycorrhizae Mutualism is a positive interaction where both the interacting species are benefitted. Mycorrhizae help in better absorption of phosphate and minerals and in turn get shelter in the roots of higher plants. A cattle egret and a cattle in a field Commensalism is a type of interaction where one species is benefitted but the other is neutral. The canttle in this case remain neutral but the cattle erget feeds on ticks from the body of the grazing cattle.
