We investigated the coexistence of two scale insect species associated with Myrtillocactus geometrizans: Toumeyella martinezae and Opuntiaspis philococcus. The occupation of space and the population structure changed over time, and the presence of a mutualist (Liometopum apiculatum) had a positive effect on the competition performance of T. martinezae. The competition intensity varied over time; moreover, in the presence of the mutualist, T. martinezae perceived the competition with less intensity, and O. philococcus perceived it with greater intensity.
