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.

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 ...

Herbivory simulations in ecological research
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1990Because of the experimental advantages that they offer, mechanical simulations of grazing are more commonly used than true herbivory in ecological studies of the impact of herbivory on plants. However, few studies have explicitly compared plant responses to herbivory and to mechanical simulations.

There is a growing body of evidence for a wide range of spider families that they use nectar as supplementary resource, while pollen feeding in web-building spiders has been studied in the laboratory including a few species only. Considering that many spiders use nectar provided by plants, we can assume a greater potential for mutualistic interactions ...
