Strong ethanol- and frequency-dependent ecological interactions in a community of wine-fermenting yeasts
Natural wine fermentation depends on a complex consortium of native microorganisms rather than inoculation of industrial yeast strains. While this...

Resin foraging interactions in stingless bees: an ecological synthesis using multilayer networks
Stingless bees use resins for nest construction, colony defense, and production of cerumen, propolis, and geopropolis. Despite their importance,...
-
Ecological interactions of carnivorous plants: beyond the relationship with their prey
The carnivorous habit has been interpreted as an outstanding adaptation that let some plants the acquisition of mineral nutrients in habitats...
-
Ecological networks of an Antarctic ecosystem: a full description of non-trophic interactions
Interactions between organisms are diverse and attend to multiple biological demands; hence, understanding ecological communities requires...

Fishers' Knowledge Reveals Ecological Interactions Between Fish and Plants in High Diverse Tropical Rivers
Frugivory and seed dispersal by fish is an important mutualistic interaction in complex and species-rich tropical rivers. The local ecological...

Interactions and Covariation of Ecological Drivers Control CO2 Fluxes in an Alpine Peatland
Peatland ecosystems are a highly effective long-term carbon sink. However, the CO 2 fluxes could be substantially altered by climate changes and the...
-
Ecological network analysis reveals complex responses of tree species life stage interactions to stand variables
Tree interactions are essential for the structure, dynamics, and function of forest ecosystems, but variations in the architecture of life-stage...
-
Ecological realism and rigor in the study of plant-plant allelopathic interactions
Progress in understanding allelopathic interactions among plants has long been hampered by the complexity of the many direct and indirect...
-
Ecological Models
Models in ecology vary widely in form and function. In some cases, ecological models are developed primarily as qualitative conceptual frameworks...

Beneficial properties of mucus in coral adaptations and ecological interactions
Coral mucus secreted by mucocytes provides a protective physicochemical and physiological barrier between coral tissue and external environmental...
-
Ecological interactions among microbial functional guilds in the plant-soil system and implications for ecosystem function
BackgroundSoils harbour a remarkable diversity of interacting fungi, bacteria, and other microbes: together these perform a wide variety of...
-
Primate–Predator Interactions: Is There a Mismatch Between Laboratory and Ecological Evidence?
Abundant empirical and theoretical studies indicate that predation is a key driver of primate evolution. The Snake Detection Theory (SDT) posits that...

Dynamic metabolic interactions and trophic roles of human gut microbes identified using a minimal microbiome exhibiting ecological properties
Microbe–microbe interactions in the human gut are influenced by host-derived glycans and diet. The high complexity of the gut microbiome poses a...

Changes in interactions over ecological time scales influence single-cell growth dynamics in a metabolically coupled marine microbial community
Microbial communities thrive in almost all habitats on earth. Within these communities, cells interact through the release and uptake of metabolites....

Study on the Characteristics of Ecological Network and Critical Areas of Ecological Restoration in Hebei-Tian** Coastal Wetlands
Coastal wetlands are crucial ecosystems at the interface between land and sea. In the context of economic development and urbanization, these...
-
Forest Insect—Plant Interactions
Insects and plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in terms of both species numbers and biomass. Ecological relationships between insects and plants...
-
Characterizing Elephant-Livestock Interactions Using a Social-Ecological Approach
In the Tarangire Ecosystem, elephants frequently use pastoral areas, where they interact with people and livestock. To characterize the...
-
Bacteriophage–Host Interactions and Coevolution
Bacteriophages are the most abundant entity on the planet and play very relevant roles in the diversity and abundance of their bacterial hosts. These...
