I don't know what sort of multi-species interactions you engage in, but animals can demonstrate resistance to control with their behavior, and humans can employ largely passive agroforestry and land use practices that allow animals to thrive without impinging upon their agency. #Mutualism exists.

I am curious about the tiny presumably #parasiticworms on these fish fins. Is that what they are? Do they hurt the fish? Or is this #mutualism or #symbiosis ?Any #ichthyologist s out there?

Discoveries about the holistic nature of forests have vast implications for forestry, conservation, and climate change. It's time to bring the same penetrating insight to farmlands. Although 80 percent of all land plants have roots that grow in association with mycorrhizae fungi, it's rare to find common mycorrhizal networks in agricultural fields. Plowing and herbicides such as glyphosate disturb the network, and the year-on-year addition of artificial nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers tell bacterial and fungal helpers that they are not needed —not needed for water transport or pest defense, not needed to absorb the micronutrients our bodies long for. When communities of vegetation breathe in carbon diox-ide, turn it into sugars and feed it to microbial networks, they can sequester carbon deep in soils for centuries. But to do that, the communities need to be healthy, diverse, and amply part-nered. If we're to encourage wild and working landscapes to recoup the 50 percent of soil carbon that has been lost to the atmosphere, we'll want to pause before revving a chainsaw, opening a bag of fertilizer, or marking a sapling for removal. We won't want to interrupt a vital conversation. To help reverse global warming, we will need to step into the flow of the carbon cycle in new ways, stopping our excessive exhale of carbon dioxide and encouraging the winded ecosystems of the planet to take a good long inhale as they heal. It will mean learning to help the helpers, those microbes, plants, and animals that do the daily alchemy of turning carbon into life. This mutualistic role, this practice of reciprocity, will require a more nuanced understanding of how ecosystems actually work. The good news is that we're finally developing a feeling for the organismic, after years of wandering in the every-plant-for-itself world One of the fallouts of our fifty-year focus on competition is that we came to view all organisms as consumers and competitors first, including ourselves.

Some of Janine Benyus’ essay in 2017 @projectdrawdown.bsky.social book:
“By recognizing, at last, the ubiquity of sharing & chaperoning, by acknowledging the fact that communal traits are quite natural, we get to see ourselves anew. We can return to our role as nurturers..”

anarchist William B. Greene
“ #Mutualism has unlimited #individualism as the essential and necessary prior condition of its own existence, and co-ordinates individuals without any sacrifice of individuality, into one collective whole, by spontaneous confederation, or solidarity.”
- William B. Greene

A pioneering figure both of #anarchism & #mutualism (and a vicious #antisemite & #sexist), the French philosopher #PierreJosephProudhon was born on #ThisDayInHistory in 1809. His critique of #capitalism was surprisingly complex for the day and influenced figures like #KarlMarx.

Why are other insects commonly found on oak galls?
The gall wasp not only manipulates the physical growth, but some can manipulate the vascular system to emit a sugary liquid, attracting other insects to feed, and defend, the baby wasp inside. #biodiversity #mutualism

Ancient American canids show no direct links to European breeds. They likely followed unique migration paths, forming symbiotic relationships with local human populations. #Migration #Mutualism #DogsInHistory #Anthropology
The tragedy of the commons isn’t fate — it’s a design problem.
Ostrom showed how communities govern shared resources; DAOs and Mutual AI let us scale that logic globally.
