Spitting Seeds From the Cud: A Review of an Endozoochory Exclusive to Ruminants
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Given their strong masticatory system and the powerful microbial digestion inside their complex guts, mammalian ruminants have been frequently considered seed predators rather than seed dispersers.

Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Lizards: A Global Review
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Birds and mammals are the only vertebrates which receive comprehensive attention in studies of dispersal of fleshy-fruited plant species. However, recently the importance of fleshy fruit in the diet of lizards (order Squamata: suborder Sauria), and their

Constructing more informative plant-pollinator networks : visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community [PDF]
, 2015 Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Mutualistic interactions between plants and animals can affect both plant and animal communities, and potentially leave imprints on plant demography. Yet, no study has simultaneously tested how trait variation in plant resources shapes the diversity of ...

Ant-plant interaction in a tropical savanna: may the network structure vary over time and influence on the outcomes of associations? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Plant-animal interactions occur in a community context of dynamic and complex ecological interactive networks. The understanding of who interacts with whom is a basic information, but the outcomes of interactions among associates are fundamental to draw ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Species interactions are traditionally seen as the outcome of both ecological and evolutionary mechanisms. Among them, the two most frequently studied are the neutral role of species abundances in determining encounter probability and the deterministic ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

An experimental and modelling exploration of the host-sanction hypothesis in legume-rhizobia mutualism [PDF]
, 2008 Despite the importance of mutualism as a key ecological process, its persistence in nature is difficult to explain since the existence of exploitative, 'cheating' partners that could erode the interaction is common. By analogy with the proposed

An ant-plant mutualism induces shifts in the protist community structure of a tank-bromeliad [PDF]
, 2012 Although ants may induce community-wide effects via changes in physical habitats in terrestrial environments, their influence on aquatic communities living in plant-held waters remains largely underexplored.
