DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04494-x
Abstract: A prime example of plant–animal interactions is the interaction between plants and pollinators, which typically receive nectar and/or pollen as reward for their pollination service. While nectar provides mostly carbohydrates, pollen represents the main source… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10071-017-1087-5
Abstract: Chickadees produce a multi-note chick-a-dee call in multiple socially relevant contexts. One component of this call is the D note, which is a low-frequency and acoustically complex note with a harmonic-like structure. In the current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13437
Abstract: Soil seed banks can strongly affect survival and expansion of plant populations by spreading mortality risks and distributing genetic diversity through time. Knowledge of the main factors regulating the ability of seeds to persist in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.15936
Abstract: The mechanisms underlying microbial community dynamics and co-occurrence patterns along ecological succession are crucial for understanding ecosystem recovery but remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigated community dynamics and taxa co-occurrence patterns in bacterial and fungal… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1089525
Abstract: Termites are key decomposers of dead plant material involved in the organic matter recycling process in warm terrestrial ecosystems. Due to their prominent role as urban pests of timber, research efforts have been directed toward… read more here.
