Spatial structure and interspecific cooperation: theory and an empirical test using the mycorrhizal mutualism.
Explaining mutualistic cooperation between species remains a major challenge for evolutionary biology. Why cooperate if defection potentially reaps greater benefits? It is commonly assumed that spatial structure (limited dispersal) aligns the interests of mutualistic partners. But does spatial struc...
