Phytochemical induction by herbivores could affect quality of essential oils from aromatic plants
(American Chemical Society, 2002-07)
Plant tissues may show chemical changes following herbivory. In aromatic plants such changes could affect the specific compounds on which commercial exploitation is based. This possibility was analyzed for Mintosthachys ...
Insect herbivory in climber-host shrubs associations: Benefit or detriment?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-11)
Spatial proximity between different plant species could modify the sign (positive or negative) of plant-herbivore interaction. The chance of a plant being detected and colonized by herbivorous insects depends not only on ...
Lagged effects of sawfly leaf herbivory on reproductive organs in cherry trees: Overcompensation in flower production reduces quality of fruits and seeds
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2020-03)
Herbivores reduce plant productivity by removing part of the assimilation surface. Also, they can alter plant traits that affect plant?pollinator interactions and reproductive success. The objective of this study was to ...
Detection of defoliation injury in peanut with hyperspectral proximal remote sensing
(2020-11-02)
Remote sensing can be applied to optimize efficiency in pest detection, as an insect sampling tool. This efficiency can result in more precise recommendations for decision making in pest management. Pest detection with ...

Dano foliar por insetos em Sapucaias (Lecythis pisonis): coloração da folha como defesa anti-herbivoria?
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - INSTITUTO DE CIÊNCIAS BIOLOGICASPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia, Conservacao e Manejo da Vida SilvestreUFMG, 2022-08-17)
Herbivory is an ecological interaction characterized by the consumption of plant tissue by animals. Among the most diverse animals on the planet are insects, which are abundant in both natural and urban environments, acting ...
Arthropod assemblage related to volatile cues in flowering wheat: interaction between aphid herbivory and soil conditions as induction factors
(Oxford University Press, 2014-04)
Volatile cues released by plants play an important role in plant-insect interactions and are influenced by pests or soil conditions affecting plant metabolism. Field microcosm experiments were used to characterize arthropod ...
Facilitation vs. apparent competition: Insect herbivory alters tree seedling recruitment under nurse shrubs in a steppe-woodland ecotone
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-03)
Facilitation of recruitment by 'nurse' plants can play a major role in harsh environments. Yet the extent to which consumer-mediated apparent competition from habitat-forming plants may counteract facilitative interactions ...
Indirect suppression of photosynthesis on individual leaves by arthropod herbivory
(Oxford University Press, 2009-02)
Background: Herbivory reduces leaf area, disrupts the function of leaves, and ultimately alters yield and productivity. Herbivore damage to foliage typically is assessed in the field by measuring the amount of leaf tissue ...
Environmental context of endophyte symbioses: Interacting effects of water stress and insect herbivory
(University of Chicago Press, 2011-05)
Symbiotic associations between grasses and fungal endophytes are generally regarded as mutualistic, yet benefits to host plants may vary with environmental context. Previous studies have emphasized how endophytes influence ...
