Competition and cooperation in one-dimensional stepping stone models [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

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 ...

Changes in Population Dynamics in Mutualistic versus Pathogenic Viruses

open access: yesViruses, 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.

The Central Symbiosis of Molecular Biology: Molecules in Mutualism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
As illustrated by the mitochondrion and the eukaryotic cell, little in biology makes sense except in light of mutualism. Mutualisms are persistent, intimate, and reciprocal exchanges; an organism proficient in obtaining certain benefits confers those on ...

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 ...

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.
