Surveys of plant-pollinator interactions taken almost a century apart show how changing timing of flowering and pollinator activity in a warmer world is reshaping these mutualisms

Symbiosis emergence and abandonment in nature: a coordination game approach
We employ an n-player coordination game to model mutualism emergence and abandonment. We illustrate our findings in the context of the host--host interactions among plants in plant-mycorrhizal fungi (MF) mutualisms. The coordination game payoff structure captures the insight that mutualistic strategies lead to robust advantages only after such "biological markets" reach a certain scale. The game gives rise to three types of Nash equilibria, which correspond to the states derived in studies of t…
