Abstract

Interactions between organisms are fundamental to understanding the functioning and stability of ecosystems. These relationships influence productivity, population dynamics, and resilience to disturbances. Biodiversity encompasses not only the variety of species but also their interactions, which remain underexplored yet are essential in times of environmental crisis. In response to this challenge, the journal Lilloa presents the special issue Biological Interactions in a Changing World, featuring studies on relationships among plants, fungi, and algae across diverse ecological and evolutionary contexts. The issue explores mycorrhizal symbiosis, plant-fungus interactions, epibiosis, mycophagy, and trophic networks in urban wetlands, as well as taxonomic and morphological contributions on lesser-known fungi. This volume highlights the need to integrate ecological, evolutionary, functional, and applied approaches to advance our understanding of the intrincate web of biological interactions. The collected research reflects the scientific community’s commitment to comprehending and preserving the planet’s biological complexity, while promoting new lines of study in the face of growing environmental threats.
