Seedling mortality and herbivory damage in subtropical and temperate populations: Testing the hypothesis of higher herbivore pressure toward the tropics
(2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Seedling Mortality and Herbivory Damage in Subtropical and Temperate Populations: Testing the Hypothesis of Higher Herbivore Pressure Toward the Tropics
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Herbivoria em Actinostemon concolor (Spreng.) Müll. Arg e Holocalyx balansae Micheli em fragmento de Floresta Estacional Decidual.
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMUFSM Frederico Westphalen, 2023-01-26)
In forest environments ecological interactions are common, such as herbivory, which is a process in which there is an interaction between animal and plant, occurring the consumption of plant tissues, including seeds, root, ...
Herbivory alters plant carbon assimilation, patterns of biomass allocation and nitrogen use efficiency
(Elsevier Masson, 2018-01)
Herbivory can trigger physiological processes resulting in leaf and whole plant functional changes. The effects of chronic infestation by an insect on leaf traits related to carbon and nitrogen economy in three Prunus avium ...
Crab herbivory regulates re-colonization of disturbed patches in a southwestern Atlantic salt marsh
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-06)
Recent work exploring the effects of physical stress and herbivory on secondary succession in estuarine plant communities agrees with basic stress models and reveal that herbivory is an important force in brackish and ...
Nutrient supply and bird predation additively control insect herbivory and tree growth in two contrasting forests. Oikos
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-02)
It has been suggested that bottom-up and top-down forces interactively control food web dynamics. While top-down effects would increase with resource availability to plants, bottom-up effects would be stronger under low ...
Ontogenetic Changes in the Diet and Head Morphology of an Omnivorous Tropidurid Lizard (Microlophus thoracicus)
(Elsevier, 2018)
Ontogenetic shifts from an insectivorous diet towards an herbivorous one are well known in lizards. Energetic, behavioral and morphological factors have been linked to this pattern, but the latter have received less ...
Plant interactions balance under biotic and abiotic stressors: The importance of herbivory in semi-arid ecosystems
(Springer, 2020-10)
Biotic and abiotic stressors commonly co-occur in plant communities and influence interactions between plants. However, their combined effects on plant interactions have not been widely studied and are still unclear. Here, ...
Is top-down control by predators driving insect abundance and herbivory rates in fragmented forests?
(2012)
The effects of forest fragmentation on ecological interactions and particularly on food webs have scarcely been analysed. There is usually less herbivory in forest fragments than in continuous forests. Here we hypothesize ...
