Tropic cascades in fragmented forests : insectivorous birds, herbivory and reproductive success of aristotelia chilensis
(Universidad de Chile, 2009)
The effects of forest fragmentation on ecologioal interaotions and partioularly on foodwebs
have scarcely treen analyzed. Herbivory is usually lower in forest fragments than
in continuous forest. Here we hypothesize that ...
Herbivory and plant growth rate determine the success of El Nino Southern Oscillation-driven tree establishment in semiarid South America
(BLACKWELL, 2006-12)
While climatic extremes are predicted to increase with global warming, we know little about the effect of climatic variability on biome distribution. Here, we show that rainy El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events can ...
A handbook for the standardised sampling of plant functional traits in disturbance-prone ecosystems, with a focus on open ecosystems
(2020-12-01)
Plant functional traits provide a valuable tool to improve our understanding of ecological processes at a range of scales. Previous handbooks on plant functional traits have highlighted the importance of standardising ...
Recent fire and livestock browsing enhance plant-level fuel flammability in northwestern Patagonian shrublands
(Wiley, 2014-09)
Question
Could disturbance by fire and ungulate herbivory alter fire regimes by increasing flammability in shrublands and early-successional forests?
Location
Nahuel Huapi National Park, northwest Patagonia, ...
Estrategias de uso de recursos, resistencia y tolerancia a la remoción de biomasa aérea en plantas nativas del centro-oeste de Argentina
(2018)
La herbivoría es una fuerza estructuradora fundamental en los ecosistemas terrestres, que permite el ingreso de la productividad primaria a la red trófica. Además, mediante diferentes mecanismos, modula la productividad ...
Scopolamine in Brugmansia suaveolens (Solanaceae): Defense, allocation, costs, and induced response
(SpringerDordrechtHolanda, 2007)
Reduced herbivore pressure under rainy ENSO conditions could facilitate dryland reforestation
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2007-01)
Most semi-arid and and regions around the world have lost a major part of their original vegetation.. Restoration of once shrublands and woodlands is often challenged by low seedling establishment success due to water ...
Pathways of megaherbivore rewilding transitions: Typologies from an Andean gradient
(University of California Press, 2020-05)
In most of the planet, large herbivore communities have been replaced by livestock, but this process is reversing in many places. Here, we outline and review the pathways of "megaherbivore rewilding transitions"in three ...
Plant invasion alters latitudinal pattern of plant-defense syndromes
(Ecological Society of America, 2021-12)
The relationship between herbivory and latitude may differ between native and introduced populations of invasive plants, which can generate latitudinal heterogeneity in the strength of enemy release. However, still little ...
