Herbivory, foliar survival and shoot growth in fragmented populations of Aristotelia chilensis
(GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER, 2007-01)
Habitat fragmentation may modify ecological interactions such as herbivory, and these changes can impinge upon plant fitness. Through a natural experiment, we evaluated if herbivory, foliar survival and shoot growth of the ...
Foliar damage modifies floral attractiveness to pollinators in Alstroemeria exerens
(2009)
Pollination is a requisite for sexual reproduction in plants and its success may determine the reproductive output of individuals. Pollinator preference for some floral designs or displays that are lacking or poorly developed ...
Do carbon-based defences reduce foliar damage? Habitat-related effects on tree seedling performance in a temperate rainforest of Chiloe Island, Chile
(SPRINGER, 2006-01)
Carbon-based secondary compounds (CBSCs), such as phenols or tannins, have been considered as one of the most important and general chemical barriers of woody plants against a diverse array of herbivores. Herbivory has ...
Inquiring into the causes of depressed folivory in a fragmented temperate forest
(2009)
Folivory is lower in forest fragments of the Maulino forest than in continuous stands. We experimentally assessed whether depressed folivory is related to a reduction in foliar palatability caused by the more xeric ...
Nurse effect in seedling establishment: facilitation and tolerance to damage in the Andes of central Chile
(SOCIEDAD BIOLOGIA CHILE, 2006-09)
Nurse effects, which occur when one plant species enhances the survival or growth of another plant species, are predicted to be most relevant in stressful environments. These effects are particulary important during seedling ...
Flujo de savia y potencial hídrico en plantas de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) bajo condiciones de invernadero
(Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia, 2018-05-02)
The tomato is one of the most important horticultural fruits in the world, with large scale horticultural production
in Colombia, as seen in the cultivated area of 8,992 and 345,291 t produced. The development of this ...
