Criteria to select vegetal species for restoration of plant-pollinator interactions in agricultural landscapes of the Pampa grassland (Argentina)
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2021-08)
Ecological functions, including pollination services, can be successfully restored in degraded ecosystems. In this study we propose a procedure for selection of target species to be employed in the restoration of ...
Lack of costs of herbivory-induced defenses in a wild wheat: Integration of physiological and ecological approaches
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1997)
Aphid infestation triggered a significant induction of hydroxamic acids (Hx) in wild wheat Triticum uniaristatum seedlings in comparison to control seedlings. We hypothesized that indirect costs of Hx induction (expressed ...
Diverse urban plantings managed with sufficient resource availability can increase plant productivity and arthropod diversity
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-10-30)
Buildings structures and surfaces are explicitly being used to grow plants, and these "urban plantings" are generally designed for aesthetic value. Urban plantings also have the potential to contribute significant "ecological ...
Ecological role of a flower-dwelling predator in a tri-trophic interaction in northwestern Patagonia
