A Meta-Analysis of Response Strategies and Interfering Factors of Kin Recognition in Plants
Conspecific plants exhibit morphological and biochemical plasticity in response to genetic relatedness in varying environments. However, the response strategies and factors influencing kin recognition in plants remain unclear.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Biotic and Abiotic Factors on Rhizosphere Microorganisms in Grassland Ecosystems
MicroorganismsRhizosphere microbiota, serving as pivotal drivers of multifunctionality in grassland ecosystems, are jointly shaped by the dual influences of biotic and abiotic factors. Among biotic components, plant functional types selectively modulate microbial communities through root exudate specificity, while soil fauna (e.g., nematodes and earthworms) drive ...

, 2017 Plant survivorship depends on biotic and abiotic factors that vary at local and regional scales. This survivorship, in turn, has cascading effects on community composition and the physical structure of vegetation.

Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Biotic and Abiotic Factors Influencing Maize Plant Height
International Journal of Molecular SciencesThis paper examines various aspects of maize plant height. Firstly, it emphasizes that maize is a significant food and forage crop with considerable research significance, and that its plant height is influenced by multiple factors, including biotic elements such as genes and plant hormones, as well as abiotic factors such as soil, water, and climate ...
