AN UNUSUAL ANIMAL‐PLANT INTERACTION: FEEDING OF SCHOMBURGKIA TIBICINIS (ORCHIDACEAE) BY ANTS
American Journal of Botany, 1989The hollow pseudobulbs of Schomburgkia tibicinis (Orchidaceae; Central America) serve as domatia for many species of ants. The ants pack many of the pseudobulbs with debris including dead insects, plant material, and sand. Ants were fed 14C‐labelled D‐glucose in honey, killed, and placed in the pseudobulbs for up to eight weeks. Samples of plant tissue

Population dynamics of plant species of coastal sand dunes is influenced directly, both above and below the soil surface, by a wide variety of organisms. Plants serve as sources of carbon and pathogens including viruses, insects, bacteria, fungi, birds, and mammals of various kinds.

Indirect interactions mediated by leaf shelters in animal–plant communities
Population Ecology, 2001AbstractLeaf 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

Animals, plants, people and digital technology
Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology, 2015Understanding interactions involving humans and computers has ever since its establishment in the early 1980s been a key foundation for the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) and its development. The idea that important features are going on inside the human brain (i.e.

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.

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 ...

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.

Anthropogenic impacts on animal-plant interactions and their ecosystem functions in tropical forests
Tropical forests are fundamental for providing ecosystem services essential to human subsistence, socioeconomic development, and the maintenance of biodiversity. These services depend on ecological interactions, especially between plants and animals, sustaining ecosystem functionality and resilience. However, the increasing intensification of land use —openaire +1 more source
