Silicon and Plant–Animal Interactions: Towards an Evolutionary Framework
Plants, 2020 Herbivory is fundamental in ecology, being a major driver of ecosystem structure and functioning. Plant Si and phytoliths play a significant antiherbivory role, the understanding of which and of its evolutionary context will increase our understanding of

Ant species that remove diaspores alone are more efficient removers
Sociobiology, 2022 Secondary diaspore removal on the ground is an important ecosystem process. In this process, solitary foraging ants with larger body sizes are more efficient because they may remove more diaspores, faster and carry them at greater distances.

A systematic review of the direct and indirect effects of herbivory on plant reproduction mediated by pollination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Plant reproduction is influenced by the net outcome of plant–herbivore and plant–pollinator interactions. While both herbivore impacts and pollinator impacts on plant reproduction have been widely studied, few studies examine them in concert ...

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.

The rhizosphere microbiome and plant health [PDF]
, 2012 The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to as the second genome of the plant, is crucial for plant health.

Microbiome-on-a-Chip: New Frontiers in Plant-Microbiota Research [PDF]
, 2017 An enigmatic concoction of interactions between microbes and hosts takes place below ground, yet the function(s) of the individual components in this complex playground are far from understood.

Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere [PDF]
, 2012 Despite significant advances in crop protection, plant diseases cause a 20% yield loss in food and cash crops worldwide. Therefore, interactions between plants and pathogens have been studied in great detail. In contrast, the interplay between plants and

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

Beneficial microbes in a changing environment: are they always helping plants to deal with insects? [PDF]
, 2013 Plants have a complex immune system that defends them against attackers (e.g. herbivores and microbial pathogens) but that also regulates the interactions with mutualistic organisms (e.g.
