Another comment to the OP points this out specifically. I would post "symbiotes" as an answer (also fitting the noun part of speech of the OP) except that I have inferred that's what this answer was originally...? | |

| Oct 16, 2017 at 9:50 | comment | added | N. Virgo | @NigelJ the article you linked is not "from Science Direct", it is from an article in the Journal of Business Research, which is syndicated by Science Direct, along with many other academic journals. The article does not contain the text I quoted, nor does it use the word 'symbiotic' in the sense you describe. | |
| Oct 16, 2017 at 9:22 | comment | added | Chris H | @Nathaniel the dogs in this example will keep down pests that would eat stored food, dispose of food scraps and deter (or warn of) predators (wolves/lions/bears etc.) Thus there's the potential for a significant benefit to humans, even potentially affecting survival rates though the majority of humans would be equally likely to make it wihtout the dogs. So the answer is correct, but unfortunately doesn;t fit the question in all aspects | |
| Oct 16, 2017 at 8:43 | comment | added | Nigel J | @Nathaniel The quotation, labelled 'Symbiotic', is from Science Direct so I think the term is being used in a wider sense than you are aware of. | |
| Oct 16, 2017 at 7:14 | comment | added | N. Virgo | This is not what the word "symbiotic" means. It refers to a relationship between species in which both benefit greatly from the other, usually to the point where they can't survive without each other. This is very different from "when animals live in contact with other animals but without forming close relationships". | |
