Periodic Solutions of Multispecies Mutualism System with Infinite Delays [PDF]

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We studied the delayed periodic mutualism system with Gilpin-Ayala effect. Some new and interesting sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of periodic solution for the multispecies mutualism system with infinite delays.

Mutualism and biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2019
Mutualism is a type of interaction in which both partners benefit from each other. For example, a butterfly receives nectar, a rich source of food, from the flower of a plant and in turn moves pollen from that plant to another far away (Figure 1). In order to reflect about the widespread nature of mutualism, John N.

Mutual Organizations, Mutual Societies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
This article is an entry to be published in an International Encyclopedia of Civil Society in 2009. Mutual organizations exist everywhere in developed and developing countreies as well. After a definition founded on social economy principles, the paper gives the historical background of mutual insurance companies, mutual benefit societies and building ...

When to help juveniles, adults, or both: analyzing the evolutionary models of stage-structured mutualism

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Mutualism is common in nature and is crucial for population dynamics, community structure, and ecosystem functioning. Studies have recently pointed out that life-history stage structure (e.g., juveniles and adults) is a key factor to better understand ...

Mutual search

open access: yesJournal of the ACM, 1999
We introduce a search problem called “mutual search” where k agents, arbitrarily distributed over n sites, are required to locate one another by posing queries of the form “Anybody at site i ?”.

Lagged effects of herbivory impact host‐choice but not nymphal survivorship in an ant‐protected treehopper

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Theoretical studies have shown that in protection mutualism, the modification of top‐down control by protectors may be destabilizing. Central to this prediction are the assumptions that (1) protection mutualism increases the abundance of protected ...

Mutual Dimension

open access: yesACM Transactions on Computation Theory, 2015
We define the lower and upper mutual dimensions mdim ( x : y ) and Mdim ( x : y ) between any two points x and y in Euclidean space ...

Caterpillars and fungal pathogens: two co-occurring parasites of an ant-plant mutualism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit.

A meta‐analysis of the effects of climate change on the mutualism between plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Climate change and other anthropogenic activities have the potential to alter the dynamics of resource exchange in the mutualistic symbiosis between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, potentially altering its stability.
