There is a commensalism relationship between the two Paramecium species and when they are in the same container, one benefits and the other is neither harmed or benefited from this relationship.

There is a symbiotic relationship between the monarch butterfly and the milkweed plant. Because the butterfly
and the milkweed
it is a
relationship. There are no plant substitutes for where monarch butterflies can lay their eggs so there is a population dynamic connection between the butterfly and the milkweed plant as well. If the milkweed plants were to go extinct, then the monarch butterfly popuation would eventually
because the butterfly would have nowhere to lay its eggs.
There is a symbiotic relationship between the monarch butterfly and the milkweed plant. Because the butterfly is dependent on the milkweed, it is a mutualistic relationship. There are no plant substitutes for where monarch butterflies can lay their eggs so there is a population dynamic connection between the butterfly and the milkweed plant as well. If the milkweed plants were to go extinct, then the monarch butterfly population would eventually decline because the butterfly would have nowhere to lay its eggs.
