Cheating in Mutualisms Promotes Diversity and Complexity.

The American naturalist - 1 Mar 2022

Wechsler Daniel, Bascompte Jordi

Abstract excerpt

AbstractMutualisms such as those between flowering plants and their pollinators are common in nature. Yet understanding their persistence in the face of cheaters and identifying the mechanisms behind their stunning diversity provide formidable challenges for evolutionary biologists. To shed light onto these questions, we introduce an individual-based model of two coevolving species in which individuals of one...
