The relationship between impalas and oxpeckers, the birds that feed on their ticks, is an example of a mutualism, not commensalism, because one species benefits and the other is not helped or harmed neither species benefits both species are harmed one species benefits but the other is harmed both species benefit, not just one

To do so, three bays that have had sea otter populations for varying amounts of time were assessed Te diffe
