Mutualist Communities of Tomatoes

Plants have to find a balance between repelling herbivores and attracting pollinators. It has now been found out that wild Peruvian tomatoes manage to do that in a way that some plants - at an individual detriment - repel strongly so that others benefit from this and can attract more easily pollinators. As a consequence the species is more resilient to herbivores than previously thought.
