Abstract: The plant–herbivore interaction is one of the most fundamental interactions in nature. Plants are sessile organisms, and consequently rely on particular strategies to avoid or reduce the negative impact of herbivory. Here, we aimed to… read more here.

Abstract: Connected ramets of colonal plants often suffer from different environmental conditions such as light, nutrient and stress. Colonal Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.) can form interconnected ramets and this connection facilitates the tolerance to abiotic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17082724
Abstract: Clonal plants in grasslands are special species with physiological integration which can enhance their ability to tolerate herbivory stress especially in heterogeneous environments. However, little is known about how grazing intensity affects the trade-off between… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.4239
Abstract: Scleractinian corals are colonial organisms comprising multiple physiologically integrated polyps and branches. Colonialism in corals is highly beneficial, and allows a single colony to undergo several life processes at once through physiological integration and compartmentalised… read more here.
