Abstract

Mutualisms are interactions among species in which the participants receive a fitness benefit. Almost all organisms are engaged in at least one mutualistic interaction and mutualisms forms the basis of many, if not all, communities and ecosystems. This article provides an overview of how these important interactions originate, remain stable, and are influenced by the presence of other species.
