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

Anais 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

Role of plant sensory perception in plant-animal interactions [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2014
The sedentary lifestyle of plants can give the false impression that they are passive participants in interactions with other organisms and the broader environment. In fact, plants have evolved sophisticated perceptual abilities that allow them to monitor and respond to a wide range of changing biotic and abiotic conditions.

The woodrat gut microbiota as an experimental system for understanding microbial metabolism of dietary toxins

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The microbial communities inhabiting the alimentary tracts of mammals, particularly those of herbivores, are estimated to be one of the densest microbial reservoirs on Earth.

Highland barley grain and soil surveys reveal the widespread deficiency of dietary selenium intake of Tibetan adults living along Yalung Zangpo River

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2022
ObjectiveIn order to assess selenium (Se) flux through the soil-plant-human chain in Tibet plateau and explore the reason why local Tibetan adult residents from large scale agricultural production areas in Tibet lacked daily Se intake.MethodsA total of ...

Heavy metal hyper accumulation potential of local flora from polluted areas of Delhi

Environment Conservation Journal
Phytoremediation is a cost-effective in-situ technique that exploits plant physiology for environmental remediation. Using local flora for phytoremediation has the advantage of successful revegetation and prevents leaching of the pollutants, such as ...

Land use alters arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities and their potential role in carbon sequestration on the Tibetan Plateau

Scientific Reports, 2017
Loss of belowground biodiversity by land-use change can have a great impact on ecosystem functions, yet appropriate investigations remain rare in high-elevation Tibetan ecosystems.

Structural Stability of Ant-plant Mutualistic Networks Mediated by Extrafloral Nectaries: Looking at the Effects of Forest Fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon

Sociobiology, 2022
Rainforest fragmentation drastically affects biodiversity and species composition, mainly due to habitat loss. Several studies have already shown the effects of forest fragmentation on plant and ant communities.

Visual Signalling in Plant-Animal Interactions [PDF]

, 2021
<p>The process of visual signalling between plant and animals is often a combination of exciting discoveries and more often than not; highly controversial hypotheses. Plants and animals interact mutualistically and antagonistically creating a complex network of species relations to some extent suggesting a co evolutionary network.

Bulbuls and crows provide complementary seed dispersal for China’s endangered trees

Avian Research, 2017
Background Different functional frugivores generally exhibit unequal contributions, both in terms of quantity (seed removal) and quality (seedling recruitment), to effective seed dispersal of plant species.
