How to use "Commensalism" in context?
Term "commensalism" was first coined in the 1790s by the French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. He used the term to describe the relationship between a predator and its prey, in which the predator consumes the prey but ALSO derives benefits from the presence of the prey. There are three key benefits of commensalism:
1. The predator can stay more alert and mentally engaged, as it is constantly watching for potential threats.
2. The predator can save energy, as it's not constantly having to chase down its prey.
