Florivory and Pollination Intersection: Changes in Floral Trait Expression Do Not Discourage Hummingbird Pollination

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Many flowers are fed on by florivores, but we know little about if and how feeding on flowers affects their visual and chemical advertisement and nectar resource, which could disrupt pollination.

A common protocol for reliable comparison of pollen fatty acid profiles: highlighting pitfalls and proposing a methodology for ecological research

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionPollen is an important tissue in plants that plays a vital role in plant reproduction as it carries male gametes and occasionally also serves as a pollinator reward.

Structure in plant–animal interaction assemblages [PDF]

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...

Plant-pollinator interaction in a peatland ecosystem in Minas Gerais, Brazil

open access: yesRevista 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]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Evolution of Plant–Animal Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The evolution of plant–animal interactions goes back to the Early Archean, when the first signals of photosynthesis may have been detected in the Isua Peninsula in Greenland, a phenomenon that is related to the isotopic anomalies of carbon.

The rhizosphere microbiome and plant health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to as the second genome of the plant, is crucial for plant health.

Microbiome-on-a-Chip: New Frontiers in Plant-Microbiota Research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
An enigmatic concoction of interactions between microbes and hosts takes place below ground, yet the function(s) of the individual components in this complex playground are far from understood.

Impact of root exudates and plant defense signaling on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Despite significant advances in crop protection, plant diseases cause a 20% yield loss in food and cash crops worldwide. Therefore, interactions between plants and pathogens have been studied in great detail. In contrast, the interplay between plants and

Does spatial and seasonal variability in fleshy-fruited trees affect fruit availability? A case study in gallery forests of Central Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2021
Forest stands in seasonal environments can differ spatially and seasonally in the diversity of fleshy fruits available as resources for fauna. The aim of this study was to quantify spatial and seasonal variation in the richness and abundance of the ...
