Mutualistic relationships are close interactions between species that have evolved over long periods of time. When these interactions enhance the reproduction and population growth of both species, they are called mutualistic symbioses.


In mutualistic relationships, both species involved benefit from the interaction. This can include various types of mutualistic symbioses such as mutualistic relationships between plants and pollinators or between certain species of animals and bacteria in their digestive systems.
