Herbivory alters plant carbon assimilation, patterns of biomass allocation and nitrogen use efficiency
(Elsevier Masson, 2018-01)
Herbivory can trigger physiological processes resulting in leaf and whole plant functional changes. The effects of chronic infestation by an insect on leaf traits related to carbon and nitrogen economy in three Prunus avium ...
Foraging activity pattern and herbivory rates of the grass-cutting ant Atta capiguara
(Springer, 2016-08-01)
The objective of this study was to investigate the seasonal change in the pattern of foraging activity in the leaf-cutting ant Atta capiguara and to provide an estimate of the annual herbivory rate of its colonies. We ...
Influência da incidência de trepadeiras na intensidade de herbivoria de 16 espécies nativas da Caatinga em um programa de restauração
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRNEcologia, 2019)
The Caatinga is in a state of chronic degradation that in several regions has triggered a process of desertification. Current restoration projects have advanced in overcoming classic problems through the use of facilitating ...
Gradientes experimentais de diversidade influenciando herbivoria e interações inseto-planta em comunidades vegetais
(BrasilUFRNPROGRAMA DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM ECOLOGIA, 2019-08-30)
There is evidence that biodiversity directly influences or correlates with functions and services
offered and regulated by ecosystems. In addition, plant diversity can affect aspects related to higher
trophic levels, ...
Diverse plant-insect associations from the latest Cretaceous and early Paleocene of Patagonia, Argentina
(Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2018-10)
Little is known about the recovery of terrestrial ecosystems after the end-Cretaceous extinction outside of the Western Interiorof North America, relatively close to the 66 Ma bolide impact crater in Chicxulub, Mexico. A ...
Root-associated fungi increase male fitness, while high simulated herbivory decreases indirect defenses in Croton lachnostachyus plants
(Springer, 2019-01)
Plants interact with a diverse array of organisms below and above ground; some interactions with ants allow plants to be protected against herbivorous insects, influencing their growth or reproduction. In addition, indirect ...
The relationship between leaf nitrogen, nitrogen metabolites and herbivory in two species of Nyctaginaceae from the Brazilian Cerrado
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTDOXFORD, 2012)
Guapira graciliflora and Neea theifera are taxonomically related species of the tribe Pisoneae. Both species are found in the same environment, the Brazilian Cerrado, and therefore, are subjected to similar selective ...
Herbivoria em Actinostemon concolor (Spreng.) Müll. Arg e Holocalyx balansae Micheli em fragmento de Floresta Estacional Decidual.
(Universidade Federal de Santa MariaBrasilUFSMUFSM Frederico Westphalen, 2023-01-26)
In forest environments ecological interactions are common, such as herbivory, which is a process in which there is an interaction between animal and plant, occurring the consumption of plant tissues, including seeds, root, ...
Climate change: Resetting plant-insect interactions
(American Society of Plant Biologist, 2012-12)
Elevated CO 2 and temperature are altering the interactions between plants and insects with important implications for food security and natural ecosystems. Ecologically, the acceleration of plant phenology by warming is ...
The role of stand composition on pre-dispersal seed predation in Austrocedrus chilensis (Cupressaceae) in north west Patagonia
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2008)
