Animal-Plant Interaction Vol. I

, 2023
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

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
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.

O-antigen structural variation: mechanisms and possible roles in animal/plant–microbe interactions [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2002
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.

Population structure, aggregation, and dispersal of Euterpe edulis Mart. at two sites of interior atlantic forest

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
Habitat destruction and fragmentation can change environmental conditions and disrupt mutualistic interactions, leading to impacts on natural populations. Here we checked how plant population structure responds to environmental degradation by quantifying

Highland barley grain and soil surveys reveal the widespread deficiency of dietary selenium intake of Tibetan adults living along Yalung Zangpo River

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
ObjectiveIn order to assess selenium (Se) flux through the soil-plant-human chain in Tibet plateau and explore the reason why local Tibetan adult residents from large scale agricultural production areas in Tibet lacked daily Se intake.MethodsA total of ...

Climate impacts on bird and plant communities from altered animal–plant interactions [PDF]

Nature Climate Change, 2012
A long-term field study establishes a link between reduced snowfall and bird and tree declines in montane Arizona. Excluding elk from experimental sites reversed these declines and also lowered nest predation. This experiment shows that climate change, operating through increased winter herbivory, can negatively affect diverse species occupying such ...

Ruminal microbiota–host interaction and its effect on nutrient metabolism

Animal Nutrition, 2021
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 ...

Can we use plant performance as indicators to infer plant-crab interactions in coastal saltmarshes?

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Increasing effort has been devoted to restoring coastal ecosystems to counteract their degradation globally. Restoration success of coastal ecosystems often relies on harnessing biotic interactions that shape the performance of foundation plant species ...
