A comprehensive, multi-method dataset of plant-frugivore interactions in a Mediterranean hotspot [PDF]

Scientific Data
Mutualistic plant-animal interactions for seed dispersal are crucial for vegetation dynamics, benefiting over half of the world’s plant species. Beyond the tropics, the Mediterranean biome harbors the highest proportion of species adapted to endozoochory,

Natural photosynthetic system for restoring homeostasis of animal organelle interaction network [PDF]

Nature Communications
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Compared with animal cells, the participation of chloroplasts enables plant cells to show defensive adaptation ...

The importance of natural history studies for a better comprehension of animal-plant interaction networks

Bioscience Journal, 2013
The central tendency in ecological studies to explain variations in the outcomes of biotic interactions is to suppose that the majority of meaningful functional diversity occurs at the species level.

Frugivory and Seed predation of Jacaratia spinosa (Caricaceae) by Sumichrast’s Vesper Rat, Nyctomys sumichrasti (Rodentia: Cricetidae)

Mammalogy Notes, 2021
Animal-plant interactions are ubiquitous and critical for tropical ecosystem functioning. Neotropical rodents perform key ecosystem functions such as seed dispersal and predation, however few information is available regarding their ecological ...

Grazing does not influence soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity, but increases their interaction complexity with plants in dry grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Animal grazing substantially influences soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants, however, its effects on soil AMF-plant interactions are still not clearly defined.

Impact of Hedychium coronarium J. König (Zingiberaceae) on the assembly of spiders in the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga, São Paulo State, Brazil

Hoehnea, 2022
The invasive Hedychium coronarium J. König (Zingiberaceae) is a competitive terrestrial herb. To understand the ecological relationships and verify whether H. coronarium impacts the mounting of spiders in the soil, 45 traps were installed, distributed in

Plant volatiles and priority effects interactively determined initial community assembly of arthropods on multiple willow species

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Plant traits, which are often species specific, can serve as environmental filtering for community assembly on plants. At the same time, the species identity of the initially colonizing arthropods would vary between plant individuals, which would ...

Functional Ecology of External Secretory Structures in Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae)

Plants, 2022
Plants have evolved numerous secretory structures that fulfill diverse roles and shape their interactions with other organisms. Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae) is one species that possesses various external secretory organs hypothesized to ...
