Biotechnology, environmental forcing, and unintended trophic cascades [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A long ongoing discussion between scientists and policy decision-makers seems to have entered recently into a new phase. The consequences of release of transgenic crops into the environment are being discussed not only by scientists but also by farmers ...

Population structure, aggregation, and dispersal of Euterpe edulis Mart. at two sites of interior atlantic forest

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023
Habitat destruction and fragmentation can change environmental conditions and disrupt mutualistic interactions, leading to impacts on natural populations. Here we checked how plant population structure responds to environmental degradation by quantifying

Heathland Restoration Techniques: Ecological Consequences for Plant-Soil and Plant-Animal Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We compare the soil and plant community development during heathland restoration on improved farmland when achieved through soil stripping with that achieved through soil acidification.

The Varied Role of Efflux Pumps of the MFS Family in the Interplay of Bacteria with Animal and Plant Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Efflux pumps represent an important and large group of transporter proteins found in all organisms. The importance of efflux pumps resides in their ability to extrude a wide range of antibiotics, resulting in the emergence of multidrug resistance in many

Multiple environmental controls explain global patterns in soil animal communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Soil animals play important roles in ecosystem functioning and stability, but the environmental controls on their communities are not fully understood. In this study, we compiled a dataset of soil animal communities for which the abundance and body mass ...

Phytohormone-mediated interkingdom signaling shapes the outcome of rice-Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Small-molecule hormones are well known to play key roles in the plant immune signaling network that is activated upon pathogen perception. In contrast, little is known about whether phytohormones also directly influence microbial virulence ...

Analysis and Assembling of Network Structure in Mutualistic Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
It has been observed that mutualistic bipartite networks have a nested structure of interactions. In addition, the degree distributions associated with the two guilds involved in such networks (e.g.
