Primes¶
- Relationship Specific Investment
- In co-evolutionary biology, obligate mutualisms — fig and wasp, yucca and yucca moth — encode adaptations whose value depends on one specific partner species,
This sourceClassic study of obligate ant-acacia mutualism, the biological analogue of partner-specific coevolved investment.

- Symbiosis
- Symbiosis clarifies by forcing a precise language for sustained mutual shaping, of the kind Janzen (1966) deployed in his classic analysis of ant–acacia coevolution to distinguish casual occupancy from obligate partnership.
This sourceClassic field study establishing that ant–acacia symbiosis requires sustained, specific exchange (housing, food bodies, defense) rather than casual co-occurrence; methodological exemplar for precise structural description of a partnership.
