Cooperative interactions may frequently be reinforced by “partner fidelity feedback,” in which high‐ or low‐quality partners drive positive feedbacks with high or low benefits for the host, respectively. Benefits of plant–animal mutualisms for plants have been quantified almost universally in terms of growth or reproduction, but these are only two of many sinks to which a host‐plant allocates its resources. By investigating ho...

Affluence and vulnerability are often seen as opposite sides of a coin—with affluence generally understood as reducing forms of vulnerability through increased resilience and adaptive capacity. However, in the context of climate change and an increase in associated hazards and disasters, we suggest the need to re-examine this dynamic relationship—a complex association we define here as the Affluence–Vulnerability Interface (AV...
