Abstract (AI)
The term biodiversity defines not only all the variety of life in the Earth but also their complex interactions. Under the current scenario of biodiversity loss, and in order to preserve it, it is essential to achieve a deep understanding on all the aspects related to the biological interactions, including their functioning and significance. This volume contains several contributions (nineteen in total) that illustrate the state of the art of the academic research in the field of biological interactions in its widest sense; that is, not only the interactions between living organisms are considered, but also those between living organisms and abiotic elements of the environment as well as those between living organisms and the humans.
Key Findings
1
Biodiversity encompasses both the variety of life and the complex interactions among organisms, environmental elements, and humans.
2
The coverage includes interactions among living organisms, between organisms and abiotic environmental factors, and between organisms and humans.
3
The volume comprises nineteen contributions representing the state of academic research on biological interactions in a broad ecological and human context.
4
Understanding how biological interactions function and their significance is essential for conserving biodiversity amid ongoing biodiversity loss.
