This work examined the effects of two linked mutualisms on the population dynamics of a beetle that exhibits outbreak dynamics, finding that reproductive rates of Tarsonemus, O. minus, and beetles covaried in a manner consistent with strong indirect interactions between organisms.

Tarsonemus mites close a loop of species interactions that includes a commensalism (mites and beetles), a mutualism ( mites and O. minus), asymmetric competition (O. minus and mycangial fungi), and another mutualism(s) (mycangia fungi and beetles).
