With a high degree of mutualism, the community of artefacts is achieving greater and greater intensities of replication of their members.
However, to do so would threaten the stability of the mutualism.
However, we are still far from understanding these variable and differentiated mutualisms.
There is also a discussion of the possible mutualisms between mites and their animal or plant habitats which is most enlightening.
This new symbiosis is an ideal system for asking questions about the evolution of ant-plant mutualisms and about costs of chemical and mechanical defences.
However, it is misleading to explain these outcomes as a result of only mutualism.
The same is true of commensalisms, which for our purpose can be regarded as asymmetric versions of mutualism.
Consequences of a biological invasion reveal the importance of mutualism for plant communities.
