Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Esterco bovino como agente dispersor de plantas daninhas

Journal of Environmental Analysis and Progress
Plantas daninhas geram substanciais prejuízos agropecuários. O estudo objetivou analisar o efeito de diferentes sistemas de manejo de bovinos na contaminação do esterco por plantas daninhas. Amostras de partes de fezes bovinas foram coletadas de animais confinados em curral (CC), em pastagem tradicional (PT) e em pastagem mista (PM).

APPLICATION OF A PULSATING DISPERSOR AS A HYDRODYNAMIC CAVITATION REACTOR FOR PREPARATION OF COAL WATER FUEL

Thermophysics and Thermal Power Engineering, 2023
A brief review of modern technologies for the production and use of coal-water fuel (CWF) is carried out. The trend of creating innovative technologies for the production of coal-water suspensions using hydrodynamic cavitation methods was noted. Varieties of rotary-type cavitation reactors, which are used for wet grinding of coal and the creation of ...

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 216-228, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...
