Sugarcane multitrophic interactions: Integrating belowground and aboveground organisms [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022 Sugarcane is a crop of major importance used mainly for sugar and biofuel production, and many additional applications of its byproducts are being developed. Sugarcane cultivation is plagued by many insect pests and pathogens that reduce sugarcane yields

Cyanogenic pseudomonads influence multitrophic interactions in the rhizosphere. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 In the rhizosphere, plant roots cope with both pathogenic and beneficial bacterial interactions. The exometabolite production in certain bacterial species may regulate root growth and other root-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere.

Can multitrophic interactions shape morphometry, allometry, and fluctuating asymmetry of seed-feeding insects? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Body size is commonly associated with biological features such as reproductive capacity, competition, and resource acquisition. Many studies have tried to understand how these isolated factors can affect the body pattern of individuals.

Plants and insects in interactions: multitrophic associations
Biologica Nyssana, 2016 Studying a biological species, we are very often obliged to examine many other species which are directly or indirectly related to the particular species in order to have broader perspective of its being. Interactions between organisms can be perceived

Uncovering the Community Structure and Adaptive Characteristics of Soil Protists Across Natural, Semi-Natural and Highly Degraded Habitats. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolHabitat type influences protistan diversity and community structure and its effect is stronger than that of geographic distance at large spatial scales. We revealed 9 ecological clusters of soil protists and their environmental preferences and found protistan consumers foraging targets may concentrate under degraded environments.
