Herbivory, foliar survival and shoot growth in fragmented populations of Aristotelia chilensis
(GAUTHIER-VILLARS/EDITIONS ELSEVIER, 2007-01)
Habitat fragmentation may modify ecological interactions such as herbivory, and these changes can impinge upon plant fitness. Through a natural experiment, we evaluated if herbivory, foliar survival and shoot growth of the ...
Foliar herbivory and its effects on plant growth in native and exotic species in the Patagonian steppe
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-09)
Studies of herbivory and its consequences on the growth of native and exotic plants could help elucidate some processes involved in plant invasions. Introduced species are likely to experience reduced herbivory in their ...
Negative effects of forest fragmentation and proximity to edges on pollination and herbivory of Bomarea salsilla (Alstroemeriaceae)
(2011)
Background - Habitat fragmentation may have detrimental effects on both plant-mutualistic (i.e. pollination) and plant-antagonistic interactions (i.e. foliar herbivory). Such double negative effects may lead to a change ...
Impact of volcanic ash deposition on foliar productivity and insect herbivory in northern Patagonia deciduous forests
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2014)
Foliar damage modifies floral attractiveness to pollinators in Alstroemeria exerens
(2009)
Pollination is a requisite for sexual reproduction in plants and its success may determine the reproductive output of individuals. Pollinator preference for some floral designs or displays that are lacking or poorly developed ...
Padrões de herbivoria por insetos em espécies de plantas tropicais
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE BIOLOGIA GERALPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Conservacao e Manejo da Vida SilvestreUFMG, 2022-08-26)
This work is the result of a study that focused on foliar herbivory by chewing insects in natural environments. In order to expand the knowledge about herbivory, we evaluated the rates of leaf removal by insects for a wide ...
Is foliar flammability of woody species related to time since fire and herbivory in northwest Patagonia, Argentina?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-10)
Question: In northwest Patagonia burning of fire-resistant forests creates a community-level positive feedback towards increased fire occurrence because of successional replacement by fire-prone shrublands. We hypothesize ...
Interaction Effect between Herbivory and Plant Fertilization on Extrafloral Nectar Production and on Seed Traits: An Experimental Study with Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae)
(2016-08-01)
It is known that the release of volatile chemicals by many plants can attract the natural enemies of herbivorous insects. Such indirect interactions are likely when plants produce nectar from their extrafloral nectaries, ...
Can the nutrient-rich soil patches created by leaf-cutting ants favor plant compensation for foliar damage? A test of the compensatory continuum hypothesis
(Springer, 2013-08)
Compensation, the degree of plant recovery after herbivory, is influenced by nutrient availability. The compensatory continuum hypothesis (CCH) predicts that the more abundant the resources in an environment, the greater ...
