Seedling mortality and herbivory damage in subtropical and temperate populations: Testing the hypothesis of higher herbivore pressure toward the tropics
(2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Seedling Mortality and Herbivory Damage in Subtropical and Temperate Populations: Testing the Hypothesis of Higher Herbivore Pressure Toward the Tropics
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Foraging activity pattern and herbivory rates of the grass-cutting ant Atta capiguara
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the seasonal change in the pattern of foraging activity in the leaf-cutting ant Atta capiguara and to provide an estimate of the annual herbivory rate of its colonies. We ...
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 ...
Ecotones, herbivory, acceptance rate and electronic access
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-02)
Each year, we choose a paper for the Editors’ Award, normally from among those nominated by the Coordinating Editors (no money is handed out). This year,
the voting was tied, so we settled for two joint winners: Walker ...
Effects of stochastic herbivory events on population maintenance of an understorey palm species (Geonoma schottiana) in riparian tropical forest
(Cambridge Univ PressNew YorkEUA, 2010)
Herbivoria em Actinostemon concolor (Spreng.) Müll. Arg e Holocalyx balansae Micheli em fragmento de Floresta Estacional Decidual.
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMUFSM Frederico Westphalen, 2023-01-26)
In forest environments ecological interactions are common, such as herbivory, which is a process in which there is an interaction between animal and plant, occurring the consumption of plant tissues, including seeds, root, ...
Floral herbivory affects female reproductive success and pollinator visitation in the perennial herb Alstroemeria Ligtu (Alstroemeriaceae)
(2011)
Floral damage can reduce flower attractiveness for pollinator service. However, the reproductive impact of flower herbivory may be contingent on a petal that is damaged. Flowers having nectar guides are expected to suffer ...
