Teamwork makes the dream work, even in nature. When different species work together for their mutual benefit, it is called symbiosis (or mutualism) — a process that is essential for the health of ...

As Diana Six explains, mutualistic relationships will be affected ... and only a handful have focused on symbiotic systems. Symbioses between microorganisms and eukaryotes are widespread and ...

Like predation and competition, recognition of mutualisms' functional responses and consumer-resource interactions provides new insights into their density-dependent population dynamics.

Mutualistic fungi also get their energy from another organism, but they give something in return; the relationship is mutual. Since fungi play all of these roles, they are very important ecologically.

These relationships, spanning the continuum from mutualism to parasitism, have profound implications across multiple fields. At the ISEE lab, we integrate bottom-up (focused on specific interactions) ...
