Examination of the role of mutualism in immune evasion
Frontiers in OncologyThough the earliest stages of oncogenesis, post initiation, are not well understood, it is generally appreciated that a successful transition from a collection of dysregulated cells to an aggressive tumour requires complex ecological interactions between

PLoS Computational Biology, 2012 There is continuing interest in understanding factors that facilitate the evolution and stability of cooperation within and between species. Such interactions will often involve plasticity in investment behavior, in response to the interacting partner's ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 By‐product mutualisms are ubiquitous yet seldom considered in models of mutualism. Most models represent conditional mutualisms that shift between mutualism and antagonism in response to shifts in costs and benefits resulting from changes in ...

First Report on the Acrobat Ant Crematogaster scutellaris Storing Live Aphids in Its Oak-Gall Nests
Insects, 2021 This study provides new data about the role of ants in mutualistic interactions with aphids mediated by galls. We focused our investigation on galls induced by the cynipid Andricus kollari by conducting a survey and a subsequent experiment in an Italian ...

The joint influence of competition and mutualism on the biodiversity of mutualistic ecosystems [PDF]
, 2017 Relations among species in ecosystems can be represented by complex networks where both negative (competition) and positive (mutualism) interactions are concurrently present.

Complex Dynamics in a Minimal Model of Protection-Based Mutualism
Axioms, 2020 This paper presents the first five variable model of mutualism motivated by the interaction between ants and homopterans. In this mutualism, homopterans benefit both directly through increased feeding rates and indirectly through predator protection ...

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]
, 1982 Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

Impact of spatial distribution on the development of mutualism in microbes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The evolution of mutualism is one of the long-standing puzzles in evolutionary biology. Why would an individual contribute to the group at the expense of its own fitness?
