One of the most common large mammals in the Amazon, sloths are a welcome sight when walking through the rainforest. If you look at the photo above, you can clearly see the strangest feature of this canopy mammal, its green sheen. Algae growing on the sloth’s fur blend the animal into ...
Some animals sound the alarm when danger approaches. For example, oxpeckers (birds that live in mutualistic relationships with grazing animals) will give a loud warning call when predators get too close. African elephants emit a rumbling alarm call when they hear the sound of African bees. Anim...

handling time (i.e. the time spent by predator from the first contact with the prey to the total ingestion/loss/rejection of the prey) was reported in three documents, for a duration of minimum of 10 min (Mehrotra et al.,2019) and maximum of 16 h (Durden et al.,2015). The digesti...

Here, I am interested in how these mutualistic dimensions of cultural burning work to create landscapes that are products of human actions with animals. I want to follow Rose (2005) and Yunkaporta (2019) and their colleagues to explore mutual ecologies of connectivities and interactions – in ...
Additionally, we used correspondence analysis (CA) to present graphically the relationships between the most common groups of animals (invertebrates, reptiles, mammals) and different types of discarded containers. This analysis was carried out in R 3.6.2 using factoextra and FactoMineR p ackages...
Why is the relationship between a flowering plant and its pollinator considered mutualistic? What is the advantage of bees being able to thermoregulate compared to other insects? Why haven't plants developed a central nervous system similar to animals? Why are flowering plants con...
Thus, it includes discussions of leaf-feeding animals and their impact on plant evolution as well as of predator-prey relationships involving the seeds of angiosperms. Several papers deal with the most familiar aspect of mutualistic plant-animal interactions鈥攑ollination relationships. The interactions...
Many animals also engage in mutualistic relationships with plants, like the fig wasp and the fig tree, where both species depend on each other for reproduction. Moreover, animals play a significant part in seed dispersal, helping plants colonize new areas and ensuring genetic diversity. The ...
