DOI: 10.1111/brv.12761
Abstract: Granivorous rodents have been traditionally regarded as antagonistic seed predators. Agoutis (Dasyprocta spp.), however, have also been recognized as mutualistic dispersers of plants because of their role as scatter‐hoarders of seeds, especially for large‐seeded species.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13280
Abstract: Interactions between plants and soil microbes can strongly influence plant diversity and community dynamics. Soil microbes may promote plant diversity by driving negative frequency-dependent plant population dynamics, or may favor species exclusion by providing one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0238943
Abstract: Inoculating plants with entomopathogenic fungi may influence plant nutrient uptake and growth, and herbivore performance. Knowledge is limited concerning the effects of this symbiosis on higher trophic levels. We examined how fungal treatment of faba… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ph14040373
Abstract: In this review, we explore the current literature on the influence of the plant isoflavone daidzein and its metabolite equol on animal and human physiological processes, with an emphasis on female reproduction including ovarian functions… read more here.
