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 ...
Leaf palatability and folivory in fragmented temperate forest
(Universidad de Chile, 2008)
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 ...
Bat folivory in numbers: how many, how much, and how long?
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2019-10)
Folivory in bats has been described as chewing bits of leaves to extract the liquids, and then discarding the remaining fibers in form of oral pellets. At least eight species of Neotropical fruit-eating bats have been ...
Structure of mutualistic networks between bats and plants and other feeding strategies in a semiarid caatinga forest of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
(BrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ECOLOGIA, 2016-02-19)
Caatinga is a deciduous thorny woodland and sclerophyllous vegetation,
encountered in a semi-arid region of around 730 000 km2 entirely within the Brazilian
territory . This environment presents high variation of vegetation ...
Simulated folivory increases vertical transmission of fungal endophytes that deter herbivores and alter tolerance to herbivory in Poa autumnalis
(Oxford University Press, 2020-05)
• Background and Aims: The processes that maintain variation in the prevalence of symbioses within host populations are not well understood. While the fitness benefits of symbiosis have clearly been shown to drive changes ...
