Animal-Plant Interaction, Volume V
The intricate relationships between animals and plants havefascinated humans for centuries. From the majestic pollinationof flowers by birds and bees to the humble symbiosis betweenfungi and tree roots, these interactions form the backbone ofecosystems worldwide.Sharma, Bhagwati Prashad +3 more

Animal-Plant Interaction, Volume 4
We quote a statement from Einstein about bees “If the bees disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only 4 years of life left; no more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man”, but we never think about the basic interactions between plant and animals.Sharma, Bhagwati Prashad +3 more

Reversed animal-plant interactions: the evolution of insectivorous and ant-fed plants
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1981Insectivorous plants and ant-fed plants represent the two ways in which plants have evolved to utilize directly nutrients derived from animals. This paper addresses the limitations under which selection acts to favour the evolution of one or the other of these nutrient-gathering tactics.

Ichnos, 1999
Old collections of the Upper Cretaceous flora at Maletin yield examples of trace fossils of plant‐arthropod interactions, comparable with recent insect galls. Grooves and ridges, often preserved on leaves at this locality, are (in contradiction to several previous authors) interpreted as traces of burrowing organisms, which originated in soft sediment ...

Hoppe-Seyler´s Zeitschrift für physiologische Chemie, 1977
Inhibitors of animal, plant, and microbial origin were tested against human and canine granulocytic elastases. The trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitors from dog submandibular glands, from soybeans (Bowman-Birk) and from chickpeas show strong interaction with these proteases (Ki = 10(-8) - 10(-9)M).

The Environmentalist, 1989
Enzootic bovine haematuria (EBH) is a disease of cattle characterised by intermittent presence of blood in their urine and tumours of mixed origin in the urinary bladder. No consensus exists on the etiology of the disease, though bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and/or papilloma virus have been implicated.

Cyanogenesis in animal-plant interactions.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1989When there is variation between individuals of the same plant species for a putative defensive chemical it is possible to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the chemical does indeed have a defence function for the plant. The polymorphism for cyanogenesis in Lotus corniculatus and Trifolium repens provides ample evidence that cyanogenesis has an ...

Oecologia, 2006
Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems on Earth both in terms of productivity and biodiversity, but also as a source of the greenhouse gas CH(4). Microbial processes catalyzing nutrient recycling and CH(4) production are controlled by sediment physico-chemistry, which is in turn affected by plant activity and the foraging behaviour of ...

Plant Ecology, 2014
Seed dispersal constrains the environmental heterogeneity to which a plant species is exposed through its life. Behavior of seed dispersers and seed predators could be influenced by food availability and vegetation cover. Consequently, recruitment probabilities are heterogeneous in space and time, and “regeneration windows” may appear.

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2010
Over the course of evolution, plants have adapted various structural and chemical mechanisms to protect themselves and interact with their environment. The chemical mechanisms are largely based on the secondary metabolites or natural products. Although plant natural products are generally divided into three main categories (terpenoids, alkaloids, and ...
