Parasites, pathogens, and invasions by plants and animals
integration of global economies (Cohen and Carlton 1998). Although the effects of some introductions are undetectable, certain species have dramatic ecological and economic impacts (Parker et al. 1999; Ruiz et al. 1999) (Figure 1). Preventing further introductions and mitigating the impacts of established introduced species are growing concerns among policy makers and environmental managers and...
متن کاملTransition Metal Transport in Plants and Associated Endosymbionts: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Rhizobia
Transition metals such as iron, copper, zinc, or molybdenum are essential nutrients for plants. These elements are involved in almost every biological process, including photosynthesis, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress, or symbiotic nitrogen fixation. However, plants often grow in soils with limiting metallic oligonutrient bioavailability. Consequently, to ensure the proper metal levels, ...
متن کاملUnpredicted impacts of insect endosymbionts on interactions between soil organisms, plants and aphids.
Ecologically significant symbiotic associations are frequently studied in isolation, but such studies of two-way interactions cannot always predict the responses of organisms in a community setting. To explore this issue, we adopt a community approach to examine the role of plant-microbial and insect-microbial symbioses in modulating a plant-herbivore interaction. Potato plants were grown under...
متن کاملFungal endosymbionts of plants reduce lifespan of an aphid secondary parasitoid and influence host selection.
Complex biotic interactions shape ecological communities of plants, herbivores and their natural enemies. In studies of multi-trophic interactions, the presence of small, invisible micro-organisms associated with plants and those of a fourth above-ground trophic level have often been neglected. Incorporating these neglected factors improves our understanding of the processes within a multi-trop...
متن کاملAntibiotics which target the Wolbachia endosymbionts of filarial parasites: a new strategy for control of filariasis and amelioration of pathology.
Wolbachia endosymbionts of filariae are targets for the development of new antifilarial chemotherapy. Doxycycline to deplete Wolbachia from the worm has demonstrated the feasibility of this strategy and has provided a new chemotherapeutic tool. Recent research shows that depleting Wolbachia will also lessen pathology, and lessen adverse reactions to traditional antifilarial drugs.
