Indirect interaccions between species also shape their adaptation to natural environment

An international team analyzes for the first time how indirect interactions in mutualistic network shape species fitness and, therefore, their reproductive success and conservation,
The loss of species and their interactions, both directs and indirects, have ecological and evolutionary consequences.

Plant-animal interactions in a scenario of rapid population expansion of a Mediterranean juniper

• Researchers at the Doñana Biological Station have analyzed which species have an essential role in the seed dispersal of Phoenicean juniper in the Doñana National Park.

Interactions between plants and animals allows species to survive

A study from the EBD-CSIC and the UCA experimentally proves that the way species interact determines the way they coexist
Results indicates that any change introduced in an ecosystem radically alters the behaviour of species in a way that is difficult to predict

The Coevolving Web of Life

One of the major goals for ecologists and evolutionary biologists is to understand how webs of species form, how they change in participants over time, and how they affect evolution. Describing the full pattern of connections within these webs is a daunting task. This study attempted to understand how species coevolve within large webs of mutualistic species.
