Not all in the same boat: Trends and mechanisms in herbivory responses to forest fragmentation differ among insect guilds
(Springer, 2014-11)
Habitat fragmentation can alter fundamental ecological interactions such as insect herbivory. Few studies of habitat fragmentation effects on herbivory have examined the mechanisms involved, and differences among insect ...
Responses of insect herbivores and herbivory to habitat fragmentation: a hierarchical meta-analysis
(Wiley, 2017-01)
Loss and fragmentation of natural habitats can lead to alterations of plant-animal interactions and ecosystems functioning. Insect herbivory, an important antagonistic interaction is expected to be influenced by habitat ...
Foliar herbivory and its effects on plant growth in native and exotic species in the Patagonian steppe
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-09)
Studies of herbivory and its consequences on the growth of native and exotic plants could help elucidate some processes involved in plant invasions. Introduced species are likely to experience reduced herbivory in their ...
Insect and plant traits drive local and landscape effects on herbivory in grassland fragments
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-05)
Herbivory is one of the most important antagonistic insect-plant interactions and can be influenced by factors at local and landscape scales. Landscape fragmentation may reduce herbivory directly (i.e., decreasing abundance ...
Impact of Soil Rhizobacteria Inoculation and Leaf-Chewing Insect Herbivory on Mentha piperita Leaf Secondary Metabolites
(Springer, 2020-06)
Secondary metabolites commonly play important physiological roles in plants and can be modified quantitatively and qualitatively by exposure to biotic and abiotic interactions. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...
Impact of volcanic ash deposition on foliar productivity and insect herbivory in northern Patagonia deciduous forests
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2014)
Patterns of insect-mediated damage in a Permian Glossopteris flora from Patagonia (Argentina)
(Elsevier Science, 2018-10-15)
A total of 2523 fossil plant specimens from the La Golondrina Formation (Permian, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina) were examined in order to assess the diversity, frequency and representation of insect damage. Although no ...
Interaction Effect between Herbivory and Plant Fertilization on Extrafloral Nectar Production and on Seed Traits: An Experimental Study with Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae)
(2016-08-01)
It is known that the release of volatile chemicals by many plants can attract the natural enemies of herbivorous insects. Such indirect interactions are likely when plants produce nectar from their extrafloral nectaries, ...
Cultural practices to reduce damage by borer insects in commercial cultivars of Amaranthus
(Elsevier, 2017-10)
Stem borer insects are one of the most important pest groups of Amaranthus crops on a global scale. In this study, we evaluated the magnitude of borer herbivory in five cultivars of Amaranthus experimentally in La Pampa, ...
