INQUILINISM
Inquilinism is the use of a second organism for permanent housing.
In zoology, an inquiline is an animal that lives commensally in the
nest, burrow, or dwelling place of an animal of another species. For
example, some organisms such as insects may live in the homes of
gophers and feed on debris, fungi, roots, etc. The most widely
distributed types of inquiline are those found in association with
the nests of social insects, especially ants and termites a single
colony may support dozens of different inquiline species.
METABIOSIS
Metabiosis is a more indirect dependency, in which
one organism creates or prepares a suitable
environment for a second.
