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 ...

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.

Belowground Herbivory and Plant Defenses
Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2009Belowground-feeding herbivores may be very destructive to plants. Roots are known to produce various defense compounds to protect themselves against these herbivores, both with direct and indirect—inducible—defense compounds. Recent literature reviews reveal no overall pattern for root-shoot defense allocation.
