It may be one of the best studied symbioses in biology but that is a sad reflection on how little we know in general,
22.
His work also inspired other researchers to investigate such diverse areas as avian ecology, social insect symbioses, tropical phenology and conservation biology.
23.
This has implications for utilising microbes to alter crop plant performance and for trying to develop nitrogen-fixing symbioses in non-legumes.
24.
His doctoral work focused on the widespread symbioses between butterfly caterpillars, ants and plants, which he popularized under the nickname Singing caterpillars .
25.
Regardless of how variably these EcM symbioses may change in response to the changing environmental conditions, it is clear that they do at least change.
26.
The mutualism and parasitism exist on a continuum, and that plant-fungus symbioses with a clearly mycorrhizal root anatomy can include exploitative relationships .)
27.
DeVries demonstrated experimentally that the calls produced by singing caterpillars function to enhance caterpillar-ant symbioses in concert with caterpillar glands that produce food and chemical secretions.
28.
The final list of 75 included 10 lichen-formers as well as a number of plant-attacking fungi, human-disease fungi and fungi that form symbioses with plant roots.
29.
Nelson acknowledges that microchimerism accounts for only one piece of the autoimmune puzzle, but she hopes the new insights may lead to treatments that specifically target the lingering souvenirs of symbioses past.
30.
These reversals to a saprotrophic mode are impractical given that the host plants involved in the EcM symbioses ( Pinaceae and rosids ) had not yet evolved when the studied class Agaricomycetes first appeared.
