Experimental evidence that partner choice is a driving force in the payoff distribution among cooperators or mutualists: the cleaner fish case (2002, unknown): “Therefore, NoeÈ and colleagues (NoeÈ 1990; NoeÈ et al. 1991; NoeÈ & Hammerstein 1994; see also Bull & Rice 1991; Wilkinson & Sherratt 2001) proposed that basic human market theory can provide the general framework to predict payoff distributions among partners in all these cases.”
Mixing it up: Multiple symbiont acquisition strategies as an adaptive mechanism in the coral Stylophora pistillata (2012, background): “In turn, the host benefits because vertical transmission en ures offspring inherit their obligate symbionts, eliminating the risk of lack of symbiont acquisition (Douglas 1998; Wilkinson & Sherratt 2001).”
Protective ant-plant interactions as model systems in ecological and evolutionary research. (2003, background): “Because these associations involve horizontal transmission and are formed anew each generation, neither partner has a short-term interest in the reproduction of the other (Wilkinson & Sherratt 2001, Yu 2001).”
Conflicts between plants and pollinators that reproduce within inflorescences: evolutionary variations on a theme (2003, background): “However, despite recent attempts to develop general theories on the evolution (Wilkinson 2001) and the stability (Bronstein 2001) of mutualisms, the evolutionary reasons why some associations remain mutualistic while others revert to antagonism, are still poorly known.”
High diversity and host specificity observed among symbiotic dinoflagellates in reef coral communities from Hawaii (2004, background): “While direct symbiont transfer from generation to generation favors the evolution of specialist symbiont lines (Douglas 1998), high specificity and hence stability are also observed in hosts that acquire symbionts from the environment (Wilkinson 2001).”
Choosy reef fish select cleaner fish that provide high-quality service (2002, result): “Our results add to the accumulating evidence that the application of market theory improves our understanding of cooperative and mutualistic interactions (Pavlowski & Dunbar 1998; Barrett et al. 1999; Henzi & Barrett 1999; Stopka & Macdonald 1999; reviews by Hoeksema & Bruna 2000; Noe ¨ 2001; Wilki”
