Description
Summary:[...]we attempt to treat the same problem with several alternative models each with different simplifications but with a common biological assumption.… In both cases, evolution plays a vital role in stabilizing mutualistic interaction dynamics and species population dynamics. [...]integrating evolutionary trajectories of species is a second challenge that theory can address to enhance our understanding of mutualisms. [...]integrating mutualisms into a whole community ecology framework that includes other species interactions such as predation, parasitism, and competition is also an ongoing goal of theory. [...]high values of niche difference are characteristic of mutualism, while low values correspond to competition.
