Reunion overseas: introduced wild boars and cultivated orange trees interact in the Brazilian Atlantic forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Little is known concerning novel interactions between species that typically interact in their native range but, as a consequence of human activity, are also interacting out of their original distribution under new ecological conditions.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Complex plant-disperser-pest interactions in NW Amazonia : beetle larvae and companions travelling inside Attalea maripa palm nuts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The dispersal and predation, by vertebrates, of bruchid beetle larvae living inside Attalea maripa palm nuts are described in the region of the Middle Negro river (state of Amazonas, Brazil).

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1442-1455, February 2026.
Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.

Importancia de las interacciones semilla-mamífero para Heteroflorum (Leguminosae), un género monoespecífico endémico de México

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018
Se identificaron algunas interacciones entre los frutos/semillas de Heteroflorum sclerocarpum (Leguminosae) y los mamíferos terrestres de un bosque tropical caducifolio de México. Usando cámaras trampa se detectaron los mamíferos que consumen los frutos

Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1124-1144, February 2026.
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Isopod feces–mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 1909-1919, February 2026.
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.

Hidrocoria en semillas de Agave victoriae-reginae T. Moore, especie en peligro de extinción: Morfología y anatomía como facilitadores de la hidro-dispersión y germinación

open access: yesGayana: Botanica, 2017
Agave victoriae-reginae es una especie endémica del Desierto Chihuahuense y crece sobre paredes en cañones. Posee semillas aplanadas que pueden ser dispersadas durante eventos episódicos de inundación.
