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. ...
Herbivory patterns along the intertidal gradient of Juncus roemerianus salt marshes
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Grasshopper herbivory can vary substantially among locations within a salt marsh or among marshes, but its variability along the marsh intertidal gradient (extending from the shoreline to the upland fringing forest) is not ...
Crab herbivory regulates plant facilitative and competitive processes in argentinean marshes
(Ecological Society of America, 2008-01)
Interactions among plants have been hypothesized to be context dependent, shifting between facilitative and competitive in response to variation in physical and biological stresses. This hypothesis has been supported by ...
Fluctuating asymmetry, leaf thickness and herbivory in Tibouchina granulosa: an altitudinal gradient analysis
(Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2018)
Quantifying invertebrate-mediated herbivory across an anthropogenic disturbance gradient in amazonian forestsQuantificando herbivoria mediada por invertebrados ao longo de um gradiente de perturbação antropogênica em florestas amazônicas

Testing the role of biotic stress in the stress gradient hypothesis. Processes and patterns in arid rangelands
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-06)
Since many arid ecosystems are overstocked with domestic herbivores, biotic stress could have a stronger influence in modulating the balance of species interactions than expected from the stress gradient hypothesis (SGH). ...
Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rain forest boundary in South America
(2012)
Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding
distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments. ...
The role of soils in phenology and herbivory in a tropical grassland–Savanna–forest gradient
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BOTÂNICAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Biologia VegetalUFMG, 2021-11-27)
The evolutionary responses of plants vary according to the soil availability resources, which is
one of the main factors responsible for species communities’ composition. In old, climatically
buffered, infertile landscapes ...
