Stage-Specific Parasitism by a Mutualistic Partner Can Increase the Host Abundance
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mutualism is one of the major interaction types occurring in ecological communities, and has significant consequences for population dynamics and community structure.

Frontiers 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
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.

Ecosphere, 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 ...

Journal 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 ?”.

Ecology 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.

ACM 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 ...

The stability of mutualism [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractPositive interactions are observed at high frequencies in nearly all living systems, ranging from human and animal societies down to the scale of microbial organisms. However, historically, detailed ecological studies of mutualism have been relatively unrepresented.

Mutualism and adaptive divergence: co-invasion of a heterogeneous grassland by an exotic legume-rhizobium symbiosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Species interactions play a critical role in biological invasions. For example, exotic plant and microbe mutualists can facilitate each other's spread as they co-invade novel ranges.

Modéliser la croissance des populations mutualistes : une question scientifique complexe
Philosophia Scientiæ, 2011 The aim of this paper is an epistemological analysis of mutualism modeling. From the Lotka-Volterra analysis, we look for some characteristics and epistemological inadequacies of this class of models.
