Reversed animal-plant interactions: the evolution of insectivorous and ant-fed plants

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1981
Insectivorous 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.

Do animal–plant interactions influence the spatial distribution of Aristotelia chilensis shrubs in temperate forests of southern South America?

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.

Trace fossils of animal‐plant interactions and “pseudointeractions” from maletín (Bohemian cretaceous basin, Czech Republic)

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 ...

Indirect interactions mediated by leaf shelters in animal–plant communities

Population Ecology, 2001
AbstractLeaf shelters indirectly mediate interactions in animal–plant communities by providing the occupants with several kinds of benefits, as physical ecosystem engineering. The occupants benefit from favorable microhabitat, reduction in antiherbivore defense, and protection from natural enemies. The primary shelter maker has to spend energy and time

Monitoring the birds and the bees: Environmental DNA metabarcoding of flowers detects plant–animal interactions

Environmental DNA, 2023
Animal pollinators are vital for the reproduction of ~ 90% of flowering plants. However, many of these pollinating species are experiencing declines globally, making effective pollinator monitoring ...
