Silicon and Plant–Animal Interactions: Towards an Evolutionary Framework [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Herbivory is fundamental in ecology, being a major driver of ecosystem structure and functioning. Plant Si and phytoliths play a significant antiherbivory role, the understanding of which and of its evolutionary context will increase our understanding of

Looking to the past to inform the future: What eDNA from herbarium specimens can tell us about plant–animal interactions [PDF]
Applications in Plant SciencesPremise The importance of natural history collections in modern ecological and genetic research cannot be overstated. Herbarium specimens provide historical information that can be used to investigate community ecology, phenology, and population genetics.

Floral UV Features of Plant Species From a Neotropical Savanna
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Despite the wide interest in flower colours, only after the end of the nineteenth-century studies started to comprise floral UV reflection, which is invisible to humans but visible to the major groups of pollinators.

Plant-pollinator interaction in a peatland ecosystem in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Revista Espinhaço, 2023 The Espinhaço Mountain Range is an important complex of mountains and plateaus within the Brazilian Cerrado. Within this area we can found peatlands ecosystem, which are important carbon reservoirs and home of a variety of plants and their floral ...

A systematic review of the direct and indirect effects of herbivory on plant reproduction mediated by pollination [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background Plant reproduction is influenced by the net outcome of plant–herbivore and plant–pollinator interactions. While both herbivore impacts and pollinator impacts on plant reproduction have been widely studied, few studies examine them in concert ...
