Animal Parasites and Messmates

** "Animal Parasites and Messmates" by P. J. van Beneden, is a scientific exploration of the diverse relationships between animals, particularly focusing on those that share living spaces or have evolved to coexist, such as parasites and messmates. The book introduces the concept of animals living together and examines how food adaptation and environmental factors shape these interactions, from cooperative partnerships to parasitic dependencies. The author uses a wide range of examples to highlight the complexity and variety of these coexistence strategies in the animal kingdom, illustrating how these creatures live side-by-side in their natural habitats **
