Large herbivore-palm interactions modulate the spatial structure of seedling communities and productivity in Neotropical forests
(2022-01-01)
Top-down control by large herbivores is a well-known driver of plant diversity structure and productivity. Yet, for forest ecosystems the sign and magnitude of herbivore control across resource gradients is not well ...
Large herbivore grazing and non-native plant invasions in montane grasslands of central Argentina
(Natural Areas Assoc, 2010-04)
Grazing by large herbivores has the potential to facilitate invasion of natural grasslands by non-native plant species. It is expected that both herbivore identity and plant community type modulate the effect. The objective ...
Population regulation in large northern herbivores: Evolution, thermodynamics, and large predators
(Blackwell Verlag GmbH Berlin, 2000-12)
Understanding population regulation of large northern herbivores like cervids has important practical and theoretical implications. Corrective measures for high densities of cervids must be based on theory and thus necessitate ...
Flower-heads, herbivores, and their parasitoids: food web structure along a fertility gradient
(Blackwell Publishing LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2005)
Varying Herbivore Population Structure Correlates with Lack of Local Adaptation in a Geographic Variable Plant-Herbivore Interaction
(Public Library ScienceSan FranciscoEUA, 2011)
The cryptic regulation of diversity by functionally complementary large tropical forest herbivores
(2019-01-01)
Tropical forests hold some of the world's most diverse communities of plants. Many populations of large-bodied herbivores are threatened in these systems, yet their ecological functions and contribution towards the maintenance ...
Cost analysis of remotely sensed foraging paths in patchy landscapes with plant anti-herbivore defenses (Patagonia, Argentina)
(Springer, 2007-05)
We developed metrics at a landscape scale to evaluate the costs and rewards experienced by large herbivores while foraging in natural vegetation with patchy anti-herbivore plant structures. We show an application of these ...
Resource concentration hypothesis: effect of host plant patch size on density of herbivorous insects
(Springer-Verlag, 1995)
The resource concentration hypothesis (Root 1973) predicts that specialist herbivorous insects should be more abundant in large patches of host plants, because the insects are more likely to find and stay longer in those ...
Differential forage use between large native and domestic herbivores in Southern Patagonian Nothofagus forests
(Springer, 2012-07)
Plant-animal interactions at the landscape level become particularly relevant when land use is diversified. Nothofagus forests in southern Patagonia have been used for timber and cattle grazing purposes during the last ...
