Trading direct for indirect defense? Phytochrome B inactivation in tomato attenuates direct anti-herbivore defenses whilst enhancing volatile-mediated attraction of predators
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-12)
Under conditions of competition for light, which lead to the inactivation of the photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB), the growth of shade-intolerant plants is promoted and the accumulation of direct anti-herbivore defenses ...
Qualitative effects of inducible defenses in trophic chains
(2007)
By means of qualitative techniques we analyze the consequences of inducible defenses of species embedded in trophic chains on the community stability and responses of population equilibrium densities to press perturbations. ...
Current Knowledge And Future Research Perspectives On Cassava (manihot Esculenta Crantz) Chemical Defenses: An Agroecological View
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTDOxford, 2016)
Indirect measures of reproductive effort in a resource-defense polygynous ungulate: Territorial defense by male guanacos
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-01)
Trade-offs between reproductive effort and activities that are likely to enhance survival have been studied extensively in harem defense ungulates. However, among resource defense systems, ecological determinants of the ...
No time for candy: passionfruit (Passiflora edulis) plants down-regulate damage-induced extra floral nectar production in response to light signals of competition
(Springer, 2013-09)
Plant fitness is often defined by the combined effects of herbivory and competition, and plants must strike a delicate balance between their ability to capture limiting resources and defend against herbivore attack. Many ...
Role of inducible defenses in the stability of a tritrophic system
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2008-06)
Inducible defenses are a form of phenotypic plasticity that potentially modify direct
interactions between various members of an ecological community, generating traitmediated
indirect effects. In this work, the hypothesis ...
Dynamic effects of inducible defenses in a one-prey two-predators system
(ELSEVIER, 2008-06-24)
Inducible defenses influence the dynamics of both the prey exhibiting the response and its predator, but it could affect indirectly other populations in the community. Earlier studies concerned with population dynamics of ...
