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

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.

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
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
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.
