Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010 Researchers may alter the ecology of their studied organisms, even carrying out apparently beneficial activities, as in herbivory studies, when they may alter herbivory damage.

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary The presence of more than two copies of the genome in an organism, termed ‘polyploidy’, is a crucial force in plant evolution, generating genetic, phenotypic and ecological diversity. [Correction added on 22 January 2026, after first online publication: the preceding sentence has been corrected.] The Amazonian tree flora is the most species ...

Microbe-induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

Rapid riparian ecosystem decline in Rocky Mountain National Park. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Understanding the drivers of ecosystem collapse is critical for resource management, particularly for protected areas mandated to preserve biodiversity. In Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, tall willows (Salix spp.) dominated riparian vegetation, and a beaver–willow state was the natural ecosystem type in the Colorado River headwaters ...

Growth-defense trade-offs promote habitat isolation between recently-diverged species. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGrowth–defense trade‐offs have long been implicated in tropical plant diversity, but how do these tradeoffs contribute to reproductive isolation? This study characterizes growth–defense trade‐offs between two recently diverged tropical plants and explore their role in maintaining strong habitat isolation.

Variação nas concentrações de compostos fenólicos e nas taxas de herbivoria em Aspidosperma pyrifolium Mart. em áreas antropizadas de Caatinga [PDF]
, 2017 Disponibilidade de recursos e perturbações antrópicas possuem relevância nas respostas à atuação dos herbívoros. Ao longo da evolução as plantas desenvolveram estratégias de defesa contra a herbivoria, como as defesas químicas.
