Detailed Information:
A technical paper that describes the realtionship between biodiversity and mutualism (co-operation between different species), and their importance to ecosystem function and structural organisation. Explains how co-operative networks extend beyond ecosystems, to connect all species. It supports the 'rivet' hypothesis, whereby all species play a role in the immediate structure and long-term stability of ecosystems, allowing dynamic adjustment to environmental change. Implications for modeling artificial systems are raised; importance of Permaculture.
