Animal-Plant Interaction Vol. I
Animal-plant interaction is an important factor in maintaining the ecological balance and shows a variety of positive and negative associations. The interactions provide plants with benefits of mainly pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient cycling and animals get the reward of nectar, food, and shelter.

Dispersal abilities favor commensalism in animal-plant interactions under climate change
Scientists still poorly understand how biotic interactions and dispersal limitation jointly interact and affect the ability of species to track suitable habitats under climate change. Here, we examine how animal-plant interactions and dispersal limitations might affect the responses of Brazil nut-dependent frogs facing projected climate change.

Ruminal microbiota–host interaction and its effect on nutrient metabolism
Rumen microbiota has a close and intensive interaction with the ruminants. Microbiota residing in the rumen digests and ferments plant organic matters into nutrients that are subsequently utilized by the host, making ruminants a unique group of animals ...

A new trend on sustainable animal production [PDF]
A sustainable animal production can improve the efficiency of animal production and recycle of animal waste, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It can be achieved by firstly, properly operation of animal production, such as improvement by animal ...

Mutualistic interactions are regulated by plant and animal traits, including animal body size and population density. In seed dispersal networks, frugivore body size determines the interaction outcome, and species population density determines ...

Spatio-temporal changes of a mangrove–saltmarsh ecotone in the northeastern coast of Florida, USA
General circulation models predict warming trends and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns that have the potential to alter the structure and function of coastal habitats.

O-antigen structural variation: mechanisms and possible roles in animal/plant–microbe interactions [PDF]
Current data from bacterial pathogens of animals and from bacterial symbionts of plants support some of the more general proposed functions for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and underline the importance of LPS structural versatility and adaptability. Most of the structural heterogeneity of LPS molecules is found in the O-antigen polysaccharide.

Role of epigenetics in regulating defense mechanisms [PDF]
Objective Epigenetics contains studying inheritable genetic variations that affect on gene expression pattern, but these variations do not create because of changes in DNA sequence. In addition, organisms are resistant to pathogens through some molecular

Zoochory is an ecologically and evolutionarily important seed dispersal type. The decline and extinction of seed-dispersing large herbivores severely threatens dispersal-driven ecosystem processes in many regions.

Plant ecology meets animal cognition: impacts of animal memory on seed dispersal [PDF]
We propose that an understanding of animal learning and memory is critical to predicting the impacts of animals on plant populations through processes such as seed dispersal, pollination and herbivory.
