Extreme specificity in obligate mutualism—A role for competition?
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.The high degree of specificity in obligate mutualisms is driven by competition within obligate mutualist guilds that limits species richness. As mutualistic partners are completely dependent on each other for fitness gains, competition may be particularly potent in these mutualisms.

Limited effects of culling on the behavior of invasive lionfish (Pterois miles) in the Mediterranean
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 1401-1410, May 2024.Abstract Invasive species pose serious threats to ecosystems. To reduce ecological and economic consequences of invasions, efforts are made to control invaders and evaluating the effects of such efforts is paramount. Lionfishes (Pterois volitans and Pterois miles) are native to the Indo‐Pacific Ocean and pose a major threat to local ecosystems in the ...
