Microclimatic edge effects in a fragmented forest: disentangling the drivers of ecological processes in plant-leafminer-parasitoid food webs
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10)
In forest fragments, microclimatic conditions differ between interior andforest edges and also vary with geographical orientation. These microclimatic variationscould affect plant-insect food webs and the ecological processes ...
Padrões de herbivoria por insetos em espécies de plantas tropicais
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BIOLOGIA GERALPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Conservacao e Manejo da Vida SilvestreUFMG, 2022-08-26)
This work is the result of a study that focused on foliar herbivory by chewing insects in natural environments. In order to expand the knowledge about herbivory, we evaluated the rates of leaf removal by insects for a wide ...
Field-grown soybean induces jasmonates and defensive compounds in response to thrips feeding and solar UV-B radiation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
Solar UV-B radiation has been reported to enhance constitutive and inducible plant defenses against herbivore insects in many species. However, the induction of plant defenses depends on the phytohormone profile induced ...
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 ...
A preliminary investigation of pre-dispersal seed predation by Acanthoscelides schrankiae horn (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) in Mimosa bimucronata (DC.) Kuntze trees
(2007-03-01)
This is the first record of Acanthoscelides schrankiae Horn, feeding in seeds of Mimosa bimucronata (DC.) Kuntze. We investigated the pattern of oviposition and seed exploitation by A. schrankiae, and the distribution of ...
