A simple plant–mycorrhizal fungal resource trade co‐evolution model explains mutualism stability, extinction and transitory parasitism via fitness feedback

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The mutualism between mycorrhizal fungi and plants has persisted for over 400 million years, despite the mutualism paradox predicting that mutualisms should be evolutionarily unstable due to the fitness advantages of cheating. It is widely accepted that mutual benefit alone is not sufficient for stable mutualism, and so a search for additional ...

Anther mimicry in an African orchid pollinated by pollen‐feeding beetles

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Beetles chew the fleshy yellow tips of an orchid's petals and pollinate its flowers, representing a novel case of pollen‐seeking beetles being deceived through anther mimicry. Abstract Flowers of many species have yellow markings that appear to mimic anthers or pollen and attract the attention of pollen‐seeking insects (usually female bees).
