Fertilization in Ugni molinae plants subjected to a domestication process increased insect biodiversity
(2015)
Plant domestication is a process in which plants increase their productive characteristics, such as size or
number of seed according to the human needs. However, these improvements provoke changes on both insect
community ...
Annual plant functional traits explain shrub facilitation in a desert community
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
Question: For a desert where winter is the driest, harshest season we asked: does the effect of dominant shrubs (Bulnesia retama) on annual species depend on (1) the functional traits of the latter, (2) the season of the ...
Ecological role of a flower-dwelling predator in a tri-trophic interaction in northwestern Patagonia
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-01)
Flower-dwelling predators may play several ecological roles depending on their effects on the reproductive success of the plants that they use to forage. However, tri-trophic interactions often are context-dependent ...
Do Alterations in Soil Physical Attributes Resulting from Chiseling Persist after Sugarcane Planting?
(2022-01-01)
Soil tillage is a high-cost operation in the replanting of sugarcane fields. Thus, measures to reduce this cost are desirable, provided that they promote good physical conditions for sugarcane development. The objective ...
Patterns of floral nectar standing crops allow plants to manipulate their pollinators

Plant Leaf Identification Using Gabor Wavelets
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2009)
This article presents a novel method of plant classification using Gabor wavelet filters to extract texture filters in a foliar surface. The aim of this promising method is to add to the results obtained by other leaf ...
Changes in plant cover and functional traits induced by grazing in the arid Patagonian Monte
(Elsevier Masson, 2013-06)
Grazing disturbance may affect the structure and functioning of arid rangelands. We analyzed the changes in plant cover and plant functional traits (plant height, SLA, N in green leaves) at the community, morphotype and ...
Differences in effects of pyrrolizidine alkaloids on five generalist insect herbivore species
(2005)
The evolution of the diversity in plant secondary compounds is often thought to be driven by insect herbivores, although there is little empirical evidence for this assumption. To investigate whether generalist insect ...
Effects of nitrate and light intensity on photosynthesis and nitrogen fixation in alfalfa plants
(1987)
Alfalfa plants (Medicago sativa, L. cv. Aragón) inoculated with Rhizobium meliloti weregrown with a N-free-nutrient solution in controlled environmental chambers. After 5 weeks plants were placed under 2 irradiance regimes ...
