Composición, riqueza de especies y abundancia de insectos defoliadores de actividad nocturna asociados a Aristotelia chilensis (maqui) en el bosque maulino fragmentado
(SOC BIOLGIA CHILE, 2008-06)
At the Maulino forest, herbivory upon Aristotelia chilensis (maqui) is negatively affected by forest fragmentation, being higher in the continuous forest than in the small remnant fragments, particularly at the beginning ...
Host plant choice and effect of temperature on feeding behaviour of Perzelia arda (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), a leaf‐tying larva, on Nothofagaceae from the Andean Patagonian forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Environmental temperature may cause changes in the physiology and feeding behaviour of herbivorous insects and, consequently, in the damage they can cause. In the Andean Patagonian forest, an eco-regiondominated by trees ...
No risk, no gain? Limited benefits of a non-costly herbivory-induced defense in wheat
(Universite Laval, 1998)
Following a short-term infestation by aphids, wheat seedlings show an increase in their concentration of hydroxamic acids (Hx), secondary metabolites conferring resistance against insects. The benefits for a wheat cultivar ...
HERBIVORY AND THE LONG-LIVED LEAVES OF AN AMAZONIAN ANT-TREE
(Blackwell Science LtdOxfordInglaterra, 1994)
Physiological and microbial adjustments to diet quality permit facultative herbivory in an omnivorous lizard
(Company of Biologists, 2016-06)
While herbivory is a common feeding strategy in a number of vertebrate classes, less than 4% of squamate reptiles feed primarily on plant material. It has been hypothesized that physiological or microbial limitations may ...
Leaf herbivory and calcium oxalate crystal production in Prunus avium
(Springer, 2020-12)
Plants require mechanisms of defense to limit the amount of damage by herbivores. Calcium oxalate crystals (COC) in theleaves can serve as inducible defenses against chewing insects, such as Caliroa cerasi larvae. We studied ...
Herbivore induction of jasmonic acid and chemical defences reduce photosynthesis in Nicotiana attenuata
(Oxford University Press, 2013-01)
Herbivory initiates a shift in plant metabolism from growth to defence that may reduce fitness in the absence of further herbivory. However, the defence-induced changes in carbon assimilation that precede this reallocation ...
Do carbon-based defences reduce foliar damage? Habitat-related effects on tree seedling performance in a temperate rainforest of Chiloe Island, Chile
(SPRINGER, 2006-01)
Carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs), such as phenols or tannins, have been considered as one of the most important and general chemical barriers of woody plants against a diverse array of herbivores. Herbivory has ...
Consequences of leaf-cutting ants on plant fitness: integrating negative effects of herbivory and positive effects from soil improvement
(Birkhauser Verlag Ag, 2017-02)
A better understanding of plant–herbivore relationships should integrate negative and positive effects of consumers on plant fitness. We studied the effect of a major insect herbivore (leaf-cutting ants, LCA) on plant ...
