Seasonal patterns of herbivory, leaf traits and productivity consumption in dry and wet Patagonian forests
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-06)
1. Endemic herbivory can influence forest ecosystem function, but how annual productivity consumption relates to seasonal resource utilisation by folivore guilds remains poorly understood. 2. Monthly changes in leaf damage ...
Loss of leaf pubescence and its physiological effects on Espeletia paipana (Asterales, Asteraceae), in the Boyacá-Colombia departmentPérdida de pubescencia foliar y sus efectos fisiológicos en Espeletia paipana (Asterales, Asteraceae), en el departamento de Boyacá-Colombia

Foraging activity pattern and herbivory rates of the grass-cutting ant Atta capiguara
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the seasonal change in the pattern of foraging activity in the leaf-cutting ant Atta capiguara and to provide an estimate of the annual herbivory rate of its colonies. We ...
Variation in nest morphology, queen oviposition rates, and fungal species present in incipient colonies of the leaf-cutter ant Atta sexdens
(2019-04-03)
The success of incipient colonies of leaf-cutter ants depends on multiple factors such as temperature, humidity, soil type, the queen’s fertility and vigor, frequency of harmful microfungi, among others. Based on this ...
Evolution of the phenolic compounds profile of olive leaf extract encapsulated by spray-drying during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 Elsevier LtdAn olive leaf extract (OLE) was microencapsulated with sodium alginate (SA) by spray-drying to study the evolution of oleuropein (ORP) during in vitro gastrointestinal digestion, and its bioaccessibility ...
Leaf extract from the endemic plant Peumus boldus as an effective bioproduct for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles
(2016)
Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) from plant extracts have emerged as a promising methodology for the fabrication of metallic NPs, as it involves an easy, fast, low-cost, and environmentally friendly bioprocess. In ...
Interplay of seasonal sunlight, air and leaf temperature in two alpine páramo species, Colombian Andes
In models of photosynthetic gas exchange, leaf temperature (Tleaf) is often calculated using a combination of derivations of the energy balance equation and measurements of air temperature (Tair). Yet, there are frequently ...
EFFECTS OF SEASONAL AIR TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT ON LEAF TRAITS AT ATLANTIC MONTANE FOREST, BRAZILIAN SOUTHEAST
(Univ Federal Lavras-ufla, 2019-07-01)
Seasonal variation of temperature could place physiological constraints on the distribution and performance of tropical forest plants, associated with light and water availability. A simple way to assess the relationship ...
Spatial and seasonal variation in leaf temperature within the canopy of a tropical forest
Understanding leaf temperature (Tleaf) variation in the canopy of tropical forests is critical for accurately calculating net primary productivity because plant respiration and net photosynthesis are highly sensitive to ...
Temperaturas e períodos de molhamento foliar no desenvolvimento da ferrugem alaranjada da cana-de-açúcar (Puccinia kuehnii)
(2017-04-01)
Considering the lack of epidemiological studies on orange rust of sugarcane in Brazil and the importance of this crop in the Brazilian agribusiness, the aims of this study were to determine the influence of temperature and ...
