Amensalism
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Amensalism is an interaction between two species where one impedes or restricts the success of the other while not being affected, positively or negatively, by the presence of the other. Usually this occurs when one organism exudes as part of its normal metabolism a chemical compound detrimental to another organism.
