Ecosystem services in human-dominated landscapes: insectivory in agroforestry systems
(2013)
Despite of being structurally simpler and
species-impoverished than natural forests, agroforestry
plantations can act as a secondary habitat for
native species and sustain some biodiversity. In
particular, insectivores ...
Community structure of mites (Arachnida: Acari) in six rubber tree clones
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2014)
Insetos engenheiros de ecossistemas em plantas e seus efeitos indiretos na comunidade de artrópodes
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2015-06-29)
Ecossystem engineers are organisms that directly or indirectly control resource availability to other organisms, by physical changes in biotic and abiotic factors. By their activities, ecosystem engineers modify, maintain, ...
Impact of volcanic ash deposition on foliar productivity and insect herbivory in northern Patagonia deciduous forestsImpacto de la deposición de ceniza volcánica sobre la productividad foliar y la herbivoría por insectos en bosques deciduos del norte de la Patagonia
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2014-04-01)
Volcanism has been a major force shaping the dynamics of Andean landscapes during the Holocene. Yet we still know little about the consequences of modern volcanic events on forest functioning. Ash fall may elicit multiple ...
Positive outcomes between herbivore diversity and tree survival: Responses to management intensity in a Patagonian forest
(Elsevier Science, 2020-02)
Sustainable forest management aims to both enhance biodiversity and tree productivity. However, trade-offs may exist between these objectives, e.g. arthropod diversity and associated arthropod herbivory can reduce tree ...
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 ...
