• The evolution of facilitation and mutualism (2009, background): “…older discussions restrict the concept to interactions exhibiting specificity and a long evolutionary history, mutualism is now considered to subsume even transient interactions of small effect, so long as both partners experience a net positive effect (Bronstein 2001a; Bronstein&Holland 2008).”
• The Evolution of Mutualistic Dependence (2020, background): “Evolutionary breakdown of mutualism into parasitism has not been observed in mutualisms with low dependence, possibly reflecting the lower cost of those mutualisms (Bronstein 2001a,b).”
• In situ evidence for ectoparasites as a proximate cause of cleaning interactions in reef fish (2004, background): “The ecological importance and widespread occurrence of animal mutualisms are now widely accepted (Bronstein 2001).”
