Host trait combinations drive abundance and canopy distribution of atmospheric bromeliad assemblages
(Oxford Univ Press, 2016-01-01)
Epiphytes are strongly dependent on the conditions created by their host's traits and a certain degree of specificity is expected between them, even if these species are largely abundant in a series of tree hosts of a given ...
Host plant choice and effect of temperature on feeding behaviour of Perzelia arda (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), a leaf‐tying larva, on Nothofagaceae from the Andean Patagonian forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-08)
Environmental temperature may cause changes in the physiology and feeding behaviour of herbivorous insects and, consequently, in the damage they can cause. In the Andean Patagonian forest, an eco-regiondominated by trees ...
Host tree preference of vascular epiphytes and climbers in a subtropical montane cloud forest of northwest Argentina
(Selby Botanical Garden Press, 2003-12)
In a Neotropical montane environment of NW Argentina (22º S , 1800 m elevation) vascular epiphyte and climber communities were described in one ha of forest in order to assess the relationships between epiphyte and climber ...
The role of leaf cellulose content in determining host plantpreferences of three defoliating insects present in theAndean-Patagonian forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06-13)
Phytophagous insects choose their feeding resources according to their own requirements in addition to properties of the host plants, such as biomechanical defences. The feeding preferences of the native folivorous insects ...
Diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a Brazilian subtropical mangrove
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2017-06)
It is not unusual to find epiphytic bromeliads in mangroves, but most studies on mangrove vegetation do not record their presence. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a ...

The role of leaf cellulose content in determining host plant preferences of three defoliating insects present in the Andean-Patagonian forest
(2016)
Los insectos fitófagos eligen sus recursos alimenticios según sus propias necesidades además de las propiedades de las plantas huésped, como las defensas biomecánicas. Las preferencias alimentarias de los insectos folívoros ...
