Detecting herbivory in two mosses from an Atlantic Forest, Brazil
(Maney PublishingLeedsInglaterra, 2011)
Can the nutrient-rich soil patches created by leaf-cutting ants favor plant compensation for foliar damage? A test of the compensatory continuum hypothesis
(Springer, 2013-08)
Compensation, the degree of plant recovery after herbivory, is influenced by nutrient availability. The compensatory continuum hypothesis (CCH) predicts that the more abundant the resources in an environment, the greater ...
Nurse effect in seedling establishment: facilitation and tolerance to damage in the Andes of central Chile
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2006)
Local spatial distribution of stream macroalgae – does gastropod activity matters?
(2021-12-01)
The effects of gastropod Biomphalaria sp. on the benthic algae community (micro and macroalgae) were experimentally studied in an unshaded artificial stream. Using artificial substrates, two treatments were tested: with ...
Water availability limits tolerance of apical damage in the Chilean tarweed Madia sativa
(Elsevier, 2008)
Plant tolerance is the ability to reduce the negative impact of herbivory on plant fitness. Numerous studies have shown that plant tolerance is affected by nutrient availability, but the effect of soil moisture has received ...
Protection against herbivory in the mutualism between Pseudomyrmex dendroicus (Formicidae) and Triplaris americana (Polygonaceae)
(2015)
Herbivory significantly impacts the growth and reproduction of plants. Many plants have developed ways to defend against herbivores and one common strategy is to associate with ants. In many ant-plant interactions, ants ...
Do pollinators respond in a dose-dependent manner to flower herbivory?: An experimental assessment in Loasa tricolor (Loasaceae) ¿Responden los polinizadores en forma dosis-dependiente a la herbivoría floral?: Una evaluación experimental en Loasa tricolor
(Universidad de Concepcion, 2011)
Pollinators are able to discriminate among different floral phenotypes. Thus, flowers more attractive to pollinators usually receive more visits to their reproductive structures. However, this effect of attraction does not ...
