The resource-mediated modular structure of a non-symbiotic ant-plant mutualism
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-07-09)
1. Plant-animal mutualisms are key processes that influence community structure, dynamics, and function. They reflect several neutral and niche-based mechanisms related to plant-animal interactions. 2. However, the strength ...
Regional productivity mediates the effects of grazing disturbance on plant cover and patch-size distribution in arid and semi-arid communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
Patch‐size distribution and plant cover are strongly associated to arid ecosystem functioning and may be a warning signal for the onset of desertification under changes in disturbance regimes. However, the interaction ...
INTERSPECIFIC VARIATION OF THE BACTERIAL COMMUNITY STRUCTURE IN THE PHYLLOSPHERE OF THE THREE MAJOR PLANT COMPONENTS OF MANGROVE FORESTS
(SOC BRASILEIRA MICROBIOLOGIASAO PAULO, 2012)
Mangrove forests encompass a group of trees species that inhabit the intertidal zones, where soil is characterized by the high salinity and low availability of oxygen. The phyllosphere of these trees represent the habitat ...
Interspecific variation of the bacterial community structure in the phyllosphere of the three major plant components of mangrove forests
(Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia, 2012)
Mangrove forests encompass a group of trees species that inhabit the intertidal zones, where soil is characterized by the high salinity and low availability of oxygen. The phyllosphere of these trees represent the habitat ...
The structuring role of free-floating plants on the fish community in a tropical shallow lake: an experimental approach with natural and artificial plants
(2016-09-01)
Free-floating plants are important components of aquatic ecosystems in tropical climates, playing a key role in the structure and spatial distribution of fish communities. This study aims at elucidating the potential effects ...
Community structure of mites (Arachnida: Acari) in six rubber tree clones
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2013-12-01)
Host plant cultivar may determine the occurrence and abundance of both herbivorous arthropods and of other species that interact with them. We analysed the acarofauna in six rubber tree clones to identify the effect of ...
The bacterial and fungal communities associated with Anthurium ssp. leaves: Insights into plant endemism and microbe association
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-03-01)
It is known that different plant species select specific microbes to live inside their tissues in a process determined by the host genotype, phenotype and geographic location, which can introduce discussion on plant endemism ...
The influence of canopy-layer composition on understory plant diversity in southern temperate forests
(Springer, 2017-05)
Background Understory plants represents the largest component of biodiversity in most forest ecosystems and plays a key role in forest functioning. Despite their importance, the influence of overstory-layer composition on ...
Mycorrhizal fungi determine salt-marsh plant zonation depending on nutrient supply
(Wiley, 2008-05)
1. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can affect nutrient uptake of associated plants and can v ary in function from mutualism to parasitism as nutrient availability increases; thus they may interact with nutrient availability ...
