MUTUALISM is the ecological interaction between two or more species where all benefit. For example, birds rely on nectar produced by flowering trees every spring to fuel their migrations. The trees use birds for pollination and seed dispersal, ensuring their continued reproductive success.

Mutualism also describes the Flora of Virginia’s relationship with our DONORS. Generous contributions allow us to deliver the most accurate, in-depth information on Virginia’s vascular plants in return.
