Coexistence and competitive exclusion in mutualism

CA Johnson, JL Bronstein - 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The competitive exclusion principle is fundamental to understanding coexistence. Well‐
established theories predict the conditions for coexistence in consumer–resource …

Invasive predators affect community‐wide pollinator visitation

CT Liang, AB Shiels, WP Haines… - Ecological …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Disruption of plant–pollinator interactions by invasive predators is poorly understood but
may pose a critical threat for native ecosystems. In a multiyear field experiment in Hawai'i …

Pollinator‐mediated plant coexistence requires high levels of pollinator specialization

B Bruninga‐Socolar, JB Socolar… - Ecology and …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
In pollen‐limited plant communities, the foraging behavior of pollinators might mediate
coexistence and competitive exclusion of plant species by determining which plants receive …

[HTML][HTML] Prey–predator dynamics with adaptive protection mutualism

TA Revilla, V Křivan - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2022 - Elsevier
Prey can ease the burden of exploitation by attracting a third party that interferes with their
predators. Such is the case for plant-ant or aphid-ant mutualisms, where the victim supplies …

Pollinator sex matters in competition and coexistence of co-flowering plants

T Nakazawa, S Kishi - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Male and female pollinators often exhibit sex-specific preferences for visiting different
flowers. Recent studies have shown that these preferences play an important role in shaping …

Nectar dynamics and the coexistence of two plants that share a pollinator

MA McPeek, SJ McPeek, JL Bronstein - Oikos, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Many different analyses have shown how antagonistic interactions (eg predation, disease,
interference competition) can foster the coexistence of two species that compete for a single …

Evolutionary emergence of plant and pollinator polymorphisms in consumer-resource mutualisms

T Marcou, TA Revilla, V Křivan - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2024 - Elsevier
Mutualism is considered a major driver of biodiversity, as it enables extensive
codiversification in terrestrial communities. An important case is flowering plants and their …

Competition, trait–mediated facilitation, and the structure of plant–pollinator communities

TA Revilla, V Křivan - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2018 - Elsevier
In plant–pollinator communities many pollinators are potential generalists and their
preferences for certain plants can change quickly in response to changes in plant and …

Plant coexistence mediated by adaptive foraging preferences of exploiters or mutualists

V Křivan, TA Revilla - Journal of theoretical biology, 2019 - Elsevier
Coexistence of plants depends on their competition for common resources and indirect
interactions mediated by shared exploiters or mutualists. These interactions are driven either …

A perspective on stage‐structured mutualism and its community consequences

T Nakazawa - Oikos, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Ontogenetic variation is the most fundamental biological aspect of an organism, and stage‐
structured (size‐structured) prey–predator relationships have increasingly been studied for …
