Urbanization Impacts Top Predators and Alters Biotic Interactions in Predator–Prey–Mutualistic Communities of Urban Dry Grasslands [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionUrbanization as a major driver of global change modifies biodiversity patterns and the abundance and interactions among species or functional species groups. For example, urbanization can negatively impact both predator–prey and mutualistic relationships.

Interactions and Regulatory Functions of Phenolics in Soil-Plant-Climate Nexus
Agronomy, 2023 Phenols are major compounds produced by plant species as a peripheral stimulus or as a regulatory defense mechanism under different environmental biotic stresses. These secondary metabolites are generated from shikimic and acetic acid metabolic pathways.
