“Forging a symbiosis with the force that rules their world, some are viridescent, mimicking the foliage surrounding them.”

“A less common example of symbiosis occurs when a hermit crab lives on another species.”

“The establishment of symbiosis is the result of a complex series of interactions between the symbiont and the host plant.”

“But Plasmodium, though it lacks chloroplasts, has a relic symbiont known as an apicoplast that is not found in other eukaryotes.”
