Abstract: Lactobacilli constitute a large genus of Gram-positive lactic acid bacteria which have widespread roles ranging from gut commensals to starters in fermented foods. A combination of in silico and laboratory-based screening allowed us to determine… read more here.

Abstract: One of the reasons why flowering plants became the most diverse group of land plants is their association with animals to reproduce. The earliest examples of this mutualism involved insects foraging for food from plants… read more here.

Abstract: Species interactions are influenced by the trait structure of local multi-trophic communities. However, it remains unclear whether mutualistic interactions in particular can drive trait patterns at the global scale, where climatic constraints and biogeographic processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.70078
Abstract: It is generally accepted that small birds cannot eat large fruits and that highly frugivorous species prefer lipid-poor ones (morphological and nutritional trait-matching). Yet, it is unclear if these rules operate globally and if their… read more here.
