Biotic and abiotic stressors commonly co-occur in plant communities and influence interactions between plants. However, their combined effects on plant interactions have not been widely studied and are still unclear. Her...

Rapid climatic changes and increasing human influence at high elevations around the world will have profound impacts on mountain biodiversity. However, forecasts from statistical models (e.g. species distribution models)...

Background and aimsThe ability of plant microbial symbionts to enhance hosts´ fitness depends on the abiotic and biotic context, including the presence of co-existing symbionts. We studied how the presence of arbuscular...

Cassava common mosaic virus (CsCMV) is a potexvirus that causes systemic infections in cassava plants, leading to chlorotic mosaic and producing significant yield losses. To date, the physiological alterations and the me...

Generalist seed predators are an important factor shaping non-native species invasion. Their effect is highly influenced by abiotic conditions, yet how the importance of this biotic filter changes in a gradient of abioti...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the floristic and ecological attributes of a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant (SSF) (500-1,050 m) located in a key area for biodiversity conservation. The importance of the fragment to the ecos...

Monitoring species abundance and distribution is a prerequisite when assessing species status and population viability, a difficult task to achieve for large herbivores at ecologically meaningful scales. Co-occurrence pa...

Abstract Soil microbes are essential for ecosystem functioning, affecting soil health and fertility. The microbial diversity present in soil is influenced by diverse land-use practices and environmental conditions; howev...

Fine-scale heterogeneity in soil nutrient availability can enhance plant growth, yet its effect across soil depth remains inadequately understood. Communities with increased species diversity showed varying growth strate...

Surface adhesion is critical to the survival of pathogenic bacteria both in natural niches and during infections, often via forming matrix-embedded communities called biofilms. Vibrio cholerae, the causal agent of pandem...

Plant reproduction is an intricate process important for the survival of all dominant autotrophs and critical in agriculture and stable food production as the basis of our diet. Angiosperms undergo extreme transformation...

Abstract Psammochloa villosa is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to tribe Stipeae (Poaceae). It is mainly distributed in the arid and sandy Inner Mongolia Plateau and adjacent areas, demonstrating remarkable resili...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

La calidad ecológica de los ecosistemas está determinada por la interacción de dos ejes principales: la calidad del hábitat y la calidad del agua. Esta interacción determina la calidad biótica del sistema, reflejad...

La envoltura bacteriana de Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 tiene las características de una bacteria Gram positiva, pero además posee proteínas de superficie o Surface layers (S-layers), las cuales se asocian con ...

Considerando que las variables estructurantes del plancton son tanto externas como internas, y que en los embalses existe una mayor preponderancia de las variables físicas respecto a los lagos, se propone que bajo una m...

Smilax campestris Griseb. -Smilacaceae - es una enredadera dioica, a la cual se le atribuyen propiedades farmacológicas, que crece en regiones cálidas y templadas de la Argentina. Los polifenoles son compuestos que est...

Scenarios of changes in biodiversity for the year 2100 can now be developed based on scenarios of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate, vegetation, and land use and the known sensitivity of biodiversity to thes...
