An Unusual Animal-Plant Interaction: Feeding of Schomburgkia tibicinis (Orchidaceae) by Ants

American Journal of Botany, 1989
The 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

Resilience to fire and climate seasonality drive the temporal dynamics of ant-plant interactions in a fire-prone ecosystem

Ecological Indicators, 2018
Animal-plant interactions have a major influence on ecosystem structure and functioning. Understanding to what extent the temporal dynamics of interactions is determined by climate and disturbances is thus relevant to predict ecological and evolutionary ...

Animal–plant interactions

2009
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.

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.

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.

Elastases from Human and Canine Granulocytes, II. Interaction with Protease Inhibitors of Animal, Plant, and Microbial Origin

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).

Contribution of bacterial-fungal balance to plant and animal health.

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2019
Surfaces of plants and animals are colonized by complex multi-kingdom microbial communities that comprise prokaryotic (i.e. archaea, bacteria) and eukaryotic (i.e. fungi, protists) microbes.

Are environmental conditions responsible for animal-plant carcinogen interaction? A study relating to enzootic bovine haematuria

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.
