Structure in plant-animal interaction assemblages [PDF]

Oikos, 2006
We present a comprehensive approach to detect pattern in assemblages of plant and animal species linked by interactions such as pollination, frugivory or herbivory. Simple structural models produce gradient, compartmented or nested patterns of interaction; intermediate patterns between a gradient and compartments are possible, and nesting within ...

A comprehensive, multi-method dataset of plant-frugivore interactions in a Mediterranean hotspot [PDF]

Scientific Data
Mutualistic plant-animal interactions for seed dispersal are crucial for vegetation dynamics, benefiting over half of the world’s plant species. Beyond the tropics, the Mediterranean biome harbors the highest proportion of species adapted to endozoochory,

Linkages between plant rhizosphere and animal gut environments: Interaction effects of pesticides with their microbiomes

Environmental Advances, 2021
: Pesticides are becoming a significant transnational pollutant in agricultural production environments. This review presents the interconnectedness and interaction effects of pesticides with the microbiomes in the environments of plant rhizosphere and ...

Natural photosynthetic system for restoring homeostasis of animal organelle interaction network [PDF]

Nature Communications
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Compared with animal cells, the participation of chloroplasts enables plant cells to show defensive adaptation ...

Grazing does not influence soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity, but increases their interaction complexity with plants in dry grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Animal grazing substantially influences soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants, however, its effects on soil AMF-plant interactions are still not clearly defined.

Impact of Hedychium coronarium J. König (Zingiberaceae) on the assembly of spiders in the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga, São Paulo State, Brazil

Hoehnea, 2022
The invasive Hedychium coronarium J. König (Zingiberaceae) is a competitive terrestrial herb. To understand the ecological relationships and verify whether H. coronarium impacts the mounting of spiders in the soil, 45 traps were installed, distributed in

Functional Ecology of External Secretory Structures in Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae)

Plants, 2022
Plants have evolved numerous secretory structures that fulfill diverse roles and shape their interactions with other organisms. Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae) is one species that possesses various external secretory organs hypothesized to ...

Plant volatiles and priority effects interactively determined initial community assembly of arthropods on multiple willow species

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Plant traits, which are often species specific, can serve as environmental filtering for community assembly on plants. At the same time, the species identity of the initially colonizing arthropods would vary between plant individuals, which would ...
