Botanical Sciences, 2017 Background. In arid environments plants face aridity and herbivory, therefore it has been proposed that both are convergent selective forces. However the drivers of insect herbivory in these ecosystems remain poorly understood. Question.

Native grass breeding: Priority needs and strategic approaches
Grassland Research, EarlyView.The key needs and breeding strategies of native grass. Abstract Native grasses possess extensive ecological adaptability, such as cold, drought, and salt tolerance, and tolerance to poor soil conditions. They play a crucial role in ensuring food security and ecological security.

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

The effect of allometric partitioning on herbivory tolerance in four species in South China
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Herbivory tolerance can offset the negative effects of herbivory on plants and plays an important role in both immigration and population establishment. Biomass reallocation is an important potential mechanism of herbivory tolerance.

, 2021 Indirect defense is an important strategy employed by sessile plants to defend against herbivorous insects by recruiting the natural enemies of herbivores mediated by herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs).

Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem
Oikos, EarlyView.We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Differential herbivory and successional status in five tropical tree species
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2018 Using 4 restoration plots, we performed a common garden experiment to test the hypothesis that inter-specific variation in leaf herbivory depends on the successional status of tree species of the seasonally dry tropical forest.

Oikos, EarlyView.Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.
