Ecological Dynamics of Mutualist/Antagonist Communities

摘要: Abstract: One approach to understanding how mutualisms function in community settings is model well‐studied pairwise interactions the presence of few species with which they interact most strongly. In nature, such are often specialized antagonists one or both mutualists. Hence, these models can also shed light on problem when and able persist face exploitation. We used spatial stochastic simulations ecological dynamics obligate, species‐specific between plants pollinating seed parasite insects (e.g., yuccas yucca moths) two obligate antagonist species: flower‐feeding (florivores) that parasitize seeds but fail pollinate (exploiters). Our results suggest surprisingly well highly exhibit distinctly different temporal present. our models, a...
