Is the biomass of waterhyacinth lost through herbivory in native areas important?
(Elsevier Science, 2010-05)
The lamina area damaged and biomass per leaves removed by invertebrate herbivores were measured across seasons on water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pontederiaceae). The amount of the leaf biomass permeter ...
Environmental and genetic control of insect abundance and herbivory along a forest elevational gradient
(Springer, 2011-04)
Environmental conditions and plant genotype may influence insect herbivory along elevational gradients. Plant damage would decrease with elevation as temperature declines to suboptimal levels for insects. However, host ...
Lack of costs of herbivory-induced defenses in a wild wheat: Integration of physiological and ecological approaches
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1997)
Aphid infestation triggered a significant induction of hydroxamic acids (Hx) in wild wheat Triticum uniaristatum seedlings in comparison to control seedlings. We hypothesized that indirect costs of Hx induction (expressed ...

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 ...

Rewilding of large herbivore communities in high elevation Puna: geographic segregation and no evidence of positive effects on peatland productivity
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-12-18)
During the past decades, the Argentine Puna (a subtropical high elevation desert of c. 14 million hectares) has been going through a process of “rewilding” of large herbivore communities. In response to rural population ...
Ant exclusion and reproduction of Croton sarcopetalus (Euphorbiaceae)
(2000-12-01)
A total of 20 insect species were observed on the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) of Croton sarcopetalus. The most frequent ant species were Zacryptocerus sp., Crematogaster brevispinosa, C. scelerata, and Linepithema humile. ...
