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. ...
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

Patterns of bioactivity and herbivory on Nothofagus species from Chile and New Zealand
(2000)
Nothofagus species from Chile and New Zealand were surveyed in the field for invertebrate abundance and leaf feeding damage and in the laboratory for antifeedant activity against leafrollers (Ctenopsteustis obliquana, ...
Is the biomass of waterhyacinth lost through herbivory in native areas important?
(Elsevier Science, 2010-05)
The lamina area damaged and biomass per leaves removed by invertebrate herbivores were measured across seasons on water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pontederiaceae). The amount of the leaf biomass permeter ...
Invertebrate herbivory on floating-leaf macrophytes at the northeast of Argentina: Should the damage be taken into account in estimations of plant biomass?
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2018-03)
We assessed the damage produced by invertebrate herbivores per leaf lamina and per m2 of populations floating-leaf macrophytes of Neotropical wetlands in the growth and decay periods, and assessed if the damage produced ...
Nutrient enrichment increases invertebrate herbivory and pathogen damage in grasslands
(British Ecological Society, 2022-02)
1- Plant damage by invertebrate herbivores and pathogens influences the dynamics of grassland ecosystems, but anthropogenic changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability can modify these relationships. 2- Using a globally ...
Invertebrate herbivory rather than competition with tussocks will increasingly delay highland forest regeneration in degraded areas under active restoration
(Elsevier Science, 2022-02-15)
Determining barriers to tree regeneration along elevational gradients is important to predict shifts in regeneration patterns under climate change scenarios. The stress-gradient hypothesis predicts that facilitation ...
Episodic bamboo die-off, neighbourhood interactions, and tree seedling performance in a mixed Patagonian forest
(Wiley, 2015-01)
1) Episodic mass flowering and subsequent die-off of bamboo understories may generate rare opportunities for tree regeneration by altering consumer–seedling interactions as much as by increasing light availability to ...
Effects of simulated overfishing on the succession of benthic algae and invertebrates in an upwelling-influenced coral reef of Pacific Costa Rica
(2015)
Overfishing and nutrient enrichment are among the major local stressors to coral reefs worldwide, as they can alter the benthic reef community by promoting fast growing algae and bioeroders. The Northern coast of Pacific ...
