The Organization of the Creosote Bush with Respect to Drought
Ecology, 1934The creosote bush, Larrea tridentata Cav.,1 is the most widely distributed, ubiquitous and successful perennial plant in the southern desert regions of North America. Its range extends from southern California to central Texas and southward into lower California, and the arid plateau of northern and central Mexico, a domain over which it is one of the ...

Effects of high fire frequency in creosote bush scrub vegetation of the Mojave Desert
International Journal of Wildland Fire, 2012Plant 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.

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1998
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 ...

INTERPOPULATION DIFFERENCES IN TOLERANCE TO CREOSOTE BUSH RESIN IN DESERT WOODRATS (NEOTOMA LEPIDA)
Ecology, 2000Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) can affect survival, reproduction, and distribution of herbivores. Individuals with a high capacity to tolerate PSMs will experience fewer and smaller adverse effects than less tolerant individuals. Theoretically, the capacity to tolerate PSMs can be acquired during development, modulated during adulthood, or ...

Polymerization studies of creosote bush (Larrea tridentata) phenolic resin with formaldehyde
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1979AbstractAbout 25% of the surface area of Mexico is covered by the shrub Larrea tridentata, also known as creosote bush. Therefore, an intense study of the shrub as a source of industrial raw materials was started. Presently, we have studied the polymerization of the phenolic resin of Larrea with formaldehyde. This polymerization has been carried out in

Abstract Studies were conducted in the central Mojave Desert to quantify how creosote bushes (Larrea tridentata) respond to physical damage during large-scale military training exercises. Creosote bush possesses a resilient growth form that recovers from repeated physical damage via resprouts arising from meristems in stem bark below severed or ...

The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1975
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 ...
