Plant preferential allocation and fungal reward decline with soil phosphorus: implications for mycorrhizal mutualism
Abstract Explaining the persistence of mutualism remains a challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology. The evolutionary stability of arbuscular mycorrhiza, a most widespread and ancient mutualistic association, is particularly intriguing because plants lack apparent mechanisms to prevent cheaters...
