Synzoochory is the dispersal of seeds by seed-caching animals. The animal partner in this
interaction plays a dual role, acting both as seed disperser and seed predator. We propose …

Soil microbial communities mix and interact, a widespread phenomenon known as
community coalescence. However, in the context of different coalescence degrees, the …

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

Microplastic mixtures are ubiquitously distributed in global ecosystems and include varying
types. However, it remains unknown how microplastic diversity affects the biotic interactions …

Soils harbor highly diverse microbial communities that are critical to soil health, but
agriculture has caused extensive land use conversion resulting in negative effects on critical …

Increasing aridity is known to influence the diversity and function of soil microbiome.
However, how it affects the microbial co-occurrence network are poorly understood …

Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a
mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in …

Land-use change is one of the greatest challenges for natural ecosystem services. Soil
microbiomes are essential for modulating multiple ecosystem functions. However, little is …

The importance of microbial community diversity for soil functioning is still debated. Here, we
used a dilution approach (undiluted, and 10− 4, 10− 8 and 10− 12) and supplementation of …

Soil physicochemical properties and vegetation types are the main factors affecting soil
microorganisms, but there are few studies on the effects of the disturbance following …
