Herbivory initiates a shift in plant metabolism from growth to defence that may reduce fitness in the absence of further herbivory. However, the defence-induced changes in carbon assimilation that precede this reallocation ...

The effect of defoliation on growth and on levels and allocation patterns of hydroxamic acids (Hx) in maize seedlings was evaluated 6 days after treatment. No significant differences were found between defoliated and ...

Territorial behaviour is an active and typically aggressive behaviour used to defend resources. Here, we investigated the presence of shared territorial defence behaviour during conspecific intrusions in the Thorn-tailed ...

In the new global economy, asset management has become a central issue for the defence industry. It is well known that countries try to maintain the peace and security of their borders by investing in the weapon systems ...

Background and aims – Once introduced into new regions, exotic species often experience shifts in resource allocation in response to the different environmental conditions found in the introduction range. Plants naturally ...

Paternal care is rare in most animals, but common in fishes, including Pomacentridae. One way of explaining it is through the territorial hypothesis, which predicts that paternal care may evolve when caring for a territory ...
