Sanctions, Partner Recognition, and Variation in Mutualism.

The American naturalist - 1 Oct 2017

Yoder Jeremy B, Tiffin Peter

Abstract excerpt

Mutualistic interactions can be stabilized against invasion by noncooperative individuals by putting such "cheaters" at a selective disadvantage. Selection against cheaters should eliminate genetic variation in partner quality-yet such variation is often found in natural populations. One explanation for this paradox is that mutualism outcomes are determined not only by responses to partner performance but also by...
