Alien species can drastically disrupt ecological processes such as those involving plant–
pollinator interactions, performing central roles that may affect the structure of native …

Prey can ease the burden of exploitation by attracting a third party that interferes with their
predators. Such is the case for plant-ant or aphid-ant mutualisms, where the victim supplies …

Urban environments may negatively affect the development of organisms. In host-
pathogen/parasite systems, this impact may lead to increased manifestations of pathogens …

The multiple ecological crisis that we are facing forces us to ponder the transition toward
sustainable agricultural systems. Two key uncertainties need to be unveiled in addressing …

The conceptual framework for species interactions calls for a new perspective: conditional
outcomes are not rare; but, rather, closer to the norm. Interactions may shift or switch …

Many different analyses have shown how antagonistic interactions (eg predation, disease,
interference competition) can foster the coexistence of two species that compete for a single …

Mutualism is considered a major driver of biodiversity, as it enables extensive
codiversification in terrestrial communities. An important case is flowering plants and their …

Coexistence of plants depends on their competition for common resources and indirect
interactions mediated by shared exploiters or mutualists. These interactions are driven either …

Question: How would a focus on limiting factors shape the development of conservation
strategies that address biodiversity loss? Background: Conservation challenges such as …

Two plants can influence one another indirectly by affecting population dynamics of shared
exploiters and/or shared mutualists, giving rise to apparent competition or apparent …
