Interspecific combative interactions between wood-decaying basidiomycetes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2000
Competition is the most common type of interaction occurring between wood-decaying higher fungi. Since competition for nutrients in organic resources is effectively brought about by competition for space, the common division into interference and exploitation competition is not very appropriate.

Venom tradeoff shapes interspecific interactions, physiology and reproduction

Science Advances, 2023
AbstractThe ability of an animal to effectively capture prey and defend against predators is pivotal for its survival. Venom, a mixture of many toxin proteins, shapes predator-prey interactions. Here, we use the sea anemoneNematostella vectensisto test how toxin genotypes impact predator-prey interactions.

Membrane Vesicles from Lacticaseibacillus Casei BL23 Exhibit Antimicrobial Activity Against Escherichia coli and Immunostimulatory Effects on Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Membrane vesicles derived from the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 demonstrate antimicrobial properties against Escherichia coli and a potential biological effect in improving the overall survival of C. elegans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These vesicles stimulated immune responses in primary cells without causing toxicity. Our results

The Cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (CYRF-01) Responds to Environmental Stresses with Increased Vesiculation Detected at Single-Cell Resolution

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Secretion of membrane-limited vesicles, collectively termed extracellular vesicles (EVs), is an important biological process of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

A Human‐Based Skin‐Lymphoreticular Model‐on‐Chip to Emulate Inflammatory Skin Conditions

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A human‐based lymphoreticular (LR) model was developed through guided self‐assembly and integrated in a skin‐lymphoreticular co‐culture in a microfluidic organ‐on‐chip to mimic interactions between skin and its draining lymph nodes. The human‐based skin‐lymphoreticular model resembles a minimally functional unit that allows to study interactions ...

A Holling Functional Response Model for Mapping QTLs Governing Interspecific Interactions

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Genes play an important role in community ecology and evolution, but how to identify the genes that affect community dynamics at the whole genome level is very challenging.

Chronobiology of interspecific interactions in a changing world [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Animals should time activities, such as foraging, migration and reproduction, as well as seasonal physiological adaptation, in a way that maximizes fitness. The fitness outcome of such activities depends largely on their interspecific interactions; the temporal overlap with other species determines when they should be active in order to maximize their ...

Coexistence of Microbial Species in Structured Communities by Forming a Hawk-Dove Game Like Interactive Relationship

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microorganisms evolve kinds of elaborate interaction models that can form relatively stable communities in a wide range of ecosystems. It is recognized that the spatial genetic structure of microbes in surface-attached environments lays a good foundation

Interspecific interactions disrupted by roads

Biological Reviews
ABSTRACTRoads have pervasive impacts on wildlife, including habitat loss and fragmentation, road mortality, habitat pollution and increased human use of habitats surrounding them. However, the effects of roads on interspecific interactions are less understood.
