Representation of eco-interactions among B1 (purple), B2 (green) and B3 (orange).
(A) Neutralism: [0,0,0]; no impact on B1, B2 and B3. (B) Competition: [–,–,–]; negative impact on B1, B2 and B3. (C) Commensalism: [0,+,+]; no impact on B1, positive impact on B2 and B3. (D) Commensalism + competition: [0,+,+] or [–,–,–]; impact on B1, B2 and B3 is defined by the environment.
