Towards a better understanding of the role of nectar-inhabiting yeasts in plant–animal interactions

Fungal Biology and Biotechnology, 2020
Flowers offer a wide variety of substrates suitable for fungal growth. However, the mycological study of flowers has only recently begun to be systematically addressed from an ecological point of view.

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]

, 2008
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Ruminal microbiota–host interaction and its effect on nutrient metabolism

Animal Nutrition, 2021
Rumen microbiota has a close and intensive interaction with the ruminants. Microbiota residing in the rumen digests and ferments plant organic matters into nutrients that are subsequently utilized by the host, making ruminants a unique group of animals ...

Biotechnology, environmental forcing, and unintended trophic cascades [PDF]

, 2009
A long ongoing discussion between scientists and policy decision-makers seems to have entered recently into a new phase. The consequences of release of transgenic crops into the environment are being discussed not only by scientists but also by farmers ...

Geographic patterns in plant-pollinator mutualistic networks [PDF]

, 2002
. Recent reviews of plant–pollinator mutualistic networks showed that gen- eralization is a common pattern in this type of interaction. Here we examine the ecological correlates of generalization patterns in plant–pollinator networks, especially how ...

Can we use plant performance as indicators to infer plant-crab interactions in coastal saltmarshes?

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Increasing effort has been devoted to restoring coastal ecosystems to counteract their degradation globally. Restoration success of coastal ecosystems often relies on harnessing biotic interactions that shape the performance of foundation plant species ...

Understanding Animal-Plant-Parasite Interactions to Improve the Management of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Grazing Ruminants

Pathogens, 2023
Grazing systems have great potential to promote animal welfare by allowing animals to express natural behaviours, but they also present risks to the animals. Diseases caused by gastrointestinal nematodes are some of the most important causes of poor ruminant health and welfare in grazing systems and cause important economic losses.

Plant-centred sampling estimates higher beta diversity of interactions than pollinator-based sampling across habitats.

New Phytologist, 2021
When describing plant-animal interaction networks, sampling can be performed using plant- or animal-centred approaches. Despite known effects of sampling on network structure, how samplings affect the estimates of interaction beta diversity across ...

Video recording and vegetation classification elucidate sheep foraging ecology in species‐rich grassland

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Factors influencing grazing behavior in species‐rich grasslands have been little studied. Methodologies have mostly had a primary focus on grasslands with lower floristic diversity.
