Herbivory, intraspecific trait variability and back to herbivory
Oikos, 2022Ungulate herbivory is a key driver of leaf trait syndromes and defense strategies at the ecological and macroevolutionary levels. Herbivory should also cause short‐term evolution within plant populations, but few studies have experimentally tested this prediction.

Herbivory and Its Consequences
Ecological Applications, 1993We argue that herbivores often induce nonlinear or biphasic growth and development in plants. Collectively these individual responses translate into a system—level optimization curve wherein at low levels of herbivory overall community responses show increases in production potential, whereas extreme herbivory causes extreme reduction in productivity ...

Herbivory is common and widespread in estuarine systems, and numerous invertebrate and vertebrate taxa can act as herbivores in these habitats (see Herbivorous Grazers). Estuaries worldwide vary substantially in herbivore densities and consumption rates, leading to corresponding variation in the trophic impact and ecosystem-level importance of ...

HERBIVORY MEDIATES GRASS–ENDOPHYTE RELATIONSHIPS
Ecology, 2007Endophytic fungi are plant symbionts living asymptomatically within plant tissues. Neotyphodium spp., which are asexual vertically transmitted systemic fungal endophytes of cool-season grasses, are predicted to be plant mutualists. These endophytes increase host plant resistance to environmental stresses and/or increase the production of alkaloid-based

Terrestrial plant tolerance to herbivory
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1994Damage to plants by herbivores is ubiquitous and sometimes severe. Tolerance is the capacity of a plant to maintain its fitness through growth and reproduction after sustaining herbivore damage. Recent physiological and ecological work indicates that tolerance mechanisms are numerous and varied.

Beaver herbivory on aquatic plants
Oecologia, 2006Herbivores have strong impacts on marine and terrestrial plant communities, but their impact is less well studied in benthic freshwater systems. For example, North American beavers (Castor canadensis) eat both woody and non-woody plants and focus almost exclusively on the latter in summer months, yet their impacts on non-woody plants are generally ...

Herbivory in Soft Corals: Correction
Science, 1996We have demonstrated the ability of several azooxanthellate soft corals to feed on phytoplankton (Reports, 7 Apr. 1995, p. 90) ([1][1]). The conversion of gut fluorescence values to chlorophyll concentrations yields nanograms of chlorophyll in the gastrovascular system of Dendronephthya hemprichi ,

In Chapter 5, the light climate within the rainforest was assessed within the vicinity of a leaf-cutting ant colony. These measurements highlighted the enormously variable light conditions both vertically through the canopy and near the forest floor. Since the cutting of leaves by ants affects canopy structure and subsequent light penetration (Plates ...
