Ratio of Water Content to Dry Weight in Leaves of the Creosote Bush
Botanical Gazette, 19361. From various lines of evidence it is shown that the dry weight of Larrea leaves undergoes diurnal fluctuations when there is enough water for growth; but under the usual desert conditions the dry weight probably changes very slowly, water conditions being chiefly responsible for the fluctuations of the wc:dw ratio.

However, territorial defence, a component of site-dependent behaviour is extremely rare in grasshoppers (Acridoidea). The only species now known to defend territories (among more than 150 species studied -Jacobs 1953; Otte 1970) isLigurotettix coquilletti McNeill, a gomphocerine grasshopper living on creosote bushes (Larrea divaricata Cav.) in the ...

An ethnomedically-driven approach was used to evaluate the ability of a pure compound isolated from the creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) to lower plasma glucose concentration in two mouse models of type 2 diabetes. The results indicated that plasma glucose concentration fell approximately 8 mmol/l in male C57BL/ks-db/db or C57BL/6J-ob/ob mice ...

We tested the Enemy Impact Hypothesis, which predicts that communities of one tropic level are organized by the tropic level above. In the case of gallforming insect communities, the hypothesis predicts that gall morphology will diverge, minimizing the number of parasitoids shared among species.

Lignans from Larrea tridentate (creosote bush) as fungal β-1,3-glucanase inhibitors
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2009The enzyme β-1,3-glucanase has a physiological role in morphogenetic-morpholytic processes during fungal development and differentiation. This fungal enzyme has been demonstrated to be involved in fungal pathogen-plant interactions during pathogen attack; therefore fungal β-1,3-glucanase is a biological target for the development of new target-oriented

Effects of high fire frequency in creosote bush scrub vegetation of the Mojave Desert
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2011Plant invasions can increase fire frequency in desert ecosystems where fires were historically infrequent. Although there are many resource management concerns associated with high frequency fire in deserts, fundamental effects on plant community characteristics remain largely unstudied.
