Intensidad de la Herbivoría en dos tipos de suelo en la Reserva Forestal Fortuna. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Herbivory is one of the most impactful interactions in the tropics because the vegetation is exposed to a greater abundance and richness of folivores. We determined the level of herbivory, the abundance and diversity of folivores, and their relationship ...

Variación anual e intrapoblacional de la dieta de Phymaturus cf. palluma (Iguania: Liolaemidae) de los Andes centrales en Argentina

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013
El conocimiento de los parámetros tróficos ayuda a comprender la historia natural de la especie, sus requerimientos ecológicos y estrategias involucradas en la búsqueda de alimento. Por ello, describimos y analizamos la dieta de Phymaturus cf.

Foliar herbivory pushes plant individuals towards the periphery of a plant–floral visitor interaction network

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2414-2428, September 2025.
The authors demonstrate how the effects of herbivory on a key plant trait can cascade to shape the interactions between individual plants and their flower visitors and how the indirect effects between herbivores and pollinators can modulate the structure of interaction networks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Endogenous rhythmic growth and ectomycorrhizal fungi modulate priming of antiherbivore defences in subsequently formed new leaves of oak trees

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1382-1396, June 2025.
A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Evaluating the role of frequency‐dependent selection in controlling the expansion of clonal aggregations in the tropical forest's understorey: Insights from a decade‐long experiment

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 851-862, March 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual reproduction, despite its associated costs and risks, is prevalent among many organisms, presumably to generate and maintain genetic diversity. This diversity is vital for adapting to environmental changes and combating natural enemies.

Testing the contribution of vertebrate predators and leaf traits to mainland–island differences in insect herbivory on oaks

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 1, Page 140-154, January 2025.
The authors explored how insularity influences herbivory in oaks across island–mainland sites. By experimentally excluding vertebrate predators (e.g. birds, bats) and measuring leaf traits (e.g. phenolics, specific leaf area, nutrients), they provide insights into the mechanisms driving island–mainland herbivory patterns.

Discreet but diverse and specific: Determining plant‐herbivore interactions across a species‐rich plant family in a tropical rain forest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2025.
We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...

Patrones de herbivoría en Fuchsia parviflora una especie dioica

open access: yes, 2019
Instituto de Investigaciones sobre los Recursos Naturales. Maestría en Ciencias en Ecología IntegrativaIn dioecious species, sex-biased herbivory (generally male-biased) is commonly related to resource allocation between growth, reproduction and defense.

Urbanization drives partner switching and loss of mutualism in an ant–plant symbiosis

open access: yesEcology, Volume 105, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Mutualistic interactions between species underpin biodiversity and ecosystem function, but may be lost when partners respond differently to abiotic conditions. Except for a few prominent examples, effects of global anthropogenic change on mutualisms are poorly understood.
