Global stability of the coexistence equilibrium for a general class of models of facultative mutualism [PDF]
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2017 Many models of mutualism have been proposed and studied individually. In this paper, we develop a general class of models of facultative mutualism that covers many of such published models. Using mild assumptions on the growth and self-limiting functions,

Resource Availability Modulates the Cooperative and Competitive Nature of a Microbial Cross-Feeding Mutualism [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 Mutualisms between species play an important role in ecosystem function and stability. However, in some environments, the competitive aspects of an interaction may dominate the mutualistic aspects.

Nature Communications, 2023 Mutualism is commonly observed in nature but not often reported for bacterial communities. Although abiotic stress is thought to promote microbial mutualism, there is a paucity of research in this area.

Cooperative adaptation to establishment of a synthetic bacterial mutualism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 To understand how two organisms that have not previously been in contact can establish mutualism, it is first necessary to examine temporal changes in their phenotypes during the establishment of mutualism.

Symbiotic Bacteria Regulating Insect–Insect/Fungus/Virus Mutualism
Insects, 2023 Bacteria associated with insects potentially provide many beneficial services and have been well documented. Mutualism that relates to insects is widespread in ecosystems. However, the interrelation between “symbiotic bacteria” and “mutualism” has rarely

Wildlife Value Orientations and Demographics in Greece
Earth, 2021 Value orientations can predict attitudes and possibly behaviors. Wildlife value orientations (WVOs) are useful constructs for predicting differences in attitudes among segments of the public towards issues in the wildlife domain.

Mutualisms and population regulation: mechanism matters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 For both applied and theoretical ecological science, the mutualism between ants and their hemipteran partners is iconic. In this well-studied interaction, ants are assumed to provide hemipterans protection from natural enemies in exchange for nutritive ...

Mutualists construct the ecological conditions that trigger the transition from parasitism
Peer Community Journal, 2022 The evolution of mutualism between hosts and initially parasitic symbionts represents a major transition in evolution. Although vertical transmission of symbionts during host reproduction and partner control both favour the stability of mutualism, these ...

Competition and cooperation in one-dimensional stepping stone models [PDF]
, 2011 Cooperative mutualism is a major force driving evolution and sustaining ecosystems. Although the importance of spatial degrees of freedom and number fluctuations is well-known, their effects on mutualism are not fully understood. With range expansions of

Changes in Population Dynamics in Mutualistic versus Pathogenic Viruses
Viruses, 2011 Although generally regarded as pathogens, viruses can also be mutualists. A number of examples of extreme mutualism (i.e., symbiogenesis) have been well studied.
