TL;DR: In this paper, the authors illustrate the literature on those plants and micro-organisms which can combat excessive quantities of heavy metal ions, which are poisonous and can cause death of most living organisms.

TL;DR: Using a simple experimental protocol, substantial negative feedback on plant growth is found through the soil community, suggesting that it may be involved in the maintenance of plant species diversity.

TL;DR: Weismann and modern biology, John Maynard Smith life history variation in placental mammals - unifying the data with theory, Paul H.Harvey et al comparative methods using phylogenetically independent contrasts, Austin Burt caste and change in social insects, D.M.Gordon inclusive fitnesw in a nutshell, David C.Queller levels of selection and sorting with special reference to the species level, Elisabeth S.Vrba the emergence, maintenance, and transitions of the earliest evolutionary units, Eors Szathmary population genetics at the DNA level -

TL;DR: The effects of host density and social contacts on parasite spread and the importance of promiscuity and mating structure for the spread and evolution of sexually transmitted diseases are reviewed.

TL;DR: Spore counts in field soil and estimates from sorghum trap cultures showed that the association of AM fungi with particular host plants in the field was positively correlated with the sporulation rates observed on those hosts in the microcosm experiments, suggesting host-dependent differences in fungal growth rates.
