Soil–Plant–Animal Mineral Dynamics in Extensive Goat Production Systems: A Critical Review of Geochemical Availability, Soil–Plant Transfer, and Ruminal Bioavailability [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals
Mineral imbalances in extensive goat production are frequently viewed as isolated deficiencies; however, they arise from complex interactions within the soil–plant–animal continuum. This review critically synthesizes evidence on mineral dynamics in goats

Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions as Part of Plant Defense and Animal Immunity

open access: yesMolecules, 2015
The immune system consists of a complex network of cells and molecules that interact with each other to initiate the host defense system. Many of these interactions involve specific carbohydrate structures and proteins that specifically recognize and ...

Current Status of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Technologies for the Detection of Honey Bee Pathogens

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Approximately one-third of the typical human Western diet depends upon pollination for production, and honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the primary pollinators of numerous food crops, including fruits, nuts, vegetables, and oilseeds.

Floral UV Features of Plant Species From a Neotropical Savanna

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Despite the wide interest in flower colours, only after the end of the nineteenth-century studies started to comprise floral UV reflection, which is invisible to humans but visible to the major groups of pollinators.

Molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal uptake, translocation and tolerance in hyperaccumulators-an analysis

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges, 2021
Phytoremediation is an economically viable green technology that utilizes hyperaccumulator plants to remove heavy metals (HM) from the soil. Hyperaccumulators are adept at sequestering high concentrations of HM in aerial parts and intracellular ...

Florivory and Pollination Intersection: Changes in Floral Trait Expression Do Not Discourage Hummingbird Pollination

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt pollination.

A common protocol for reliable comparison of pollen fatty acid profiles: highlighting pitfalls and proposing a methodology for ecological research

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionPollen is an important tissue in plants that plays a vital role in plant reproduction as it carries male gametes and occasionally also serves as a pollinator reward.

Plant Phenology Dynamics and Pollination Networks in Summits of the High Tropical Andes: A Baseline for Monitoring Climate Change Impacts

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Analyzing plant phenology and plant–animal interaction networks can provide sensitive mechanistic indicators to understand the response of alpine plant communities to climate change. However, monitoring data to analyze these processes is scarce in alpine
