Mitella和Tolmiea spp.只要我们在许多自然栖息地观察到它们，它们总是与Conocephallum，Apopellia和Pallavicinia属的bratectes或Mniaceae共同存在，它们是传粉真菌小昆虫的宿主。支持或反对这一假设的进一步证据可以提供一个研究的空间共存的Mitella和brabrites是宿主的传粉者。如果Mitella和brabrites每个都有斑片状的，但强烈一致的分布，这将提供有力的支持，我们的假设，brabrites必须提供必要的栖息地的幼虫阶段的真菌蚊蚋，以Mitella成功地复制。由某一物种生活阶段的不同生境偏好所联系起来的三方相互作用将是一种
Mitella and Tolmiea spp. always co-occur with the bryophytes of the genera Conocephallum, Apopellia, and Pallavicinia, or the family Mniaceae that host the pollinator fungus gnats as long as we observed them in a number of natural habitats. Further evidence for or against this hypothesis could be provided by a study of the spatial coexistence between Mitella and bryophytes that are the hosts for the pollinators. IfMitella and the bryophytes each have patchy but strongly coincident distributions, that would lend strong support to our hypothesis that the bryophytes must provide the necessary habitat for the larval stage of the fungus gnats in order for Mitella to be successfully reproduced. A tripartite interaction linked by different habitat preferences of the life stage of one of the species would be an
