Red King hypothesis
The Red King hypothesis contrasts with the Red Queen hypothesis, where mutualistic and cooperative interactions favor the fitness of a set of individuals through slow evolution, as opposed to having competitive interactions or having an "arms race". The hypothesis posits that individuals from different communities can establish positive interactions for long periods of time when there is a great benefit for both parties, also through mutual help, individuals from different species (communities) can share different tasks to build a niche (Black Queen hypothesis), which avoid spending energy in competing and increasing their resilience over environmental stress.
