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.

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 ...

Role of plant sensory perception in plant-animal interactions [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2017 Plants actively gather information about their environments via a range of sensory modalities and respond in ways that profoundly influence their interactions with other ...

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2012 AbstractEvidence for invertebrate feeding on glossopterid gymnosperms is documented from Middle Permian silicified peats of the Prince Charles Mountains, Antarctica, in the form of coprolites occurring both free in the peat matrix and clustered within excavations in roots, aerial wood and leaves. Observations of coprolites in thin-sections of the peats

Frontiers 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

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.

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 ...

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.

Heathland Restoration Techniques: Ecological Consequences for Plant-Soil and Plant-Animal Interactions [PDF]
, 2011 We compare the soil and plant community development during heathland restoration on improved farmland when achieved through soil stripping with that achieved through soil acidification.
