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.

Modeling energy flow and nutrient cycling in natural semiarid grassland ecosystems with the aid of thematic mapper data [PDF]

Energy flow and nutrient cycling were modeled as affected by herbivory on selected intensive sites along gradients of precipitation and soils, validating the model output by monitoring selected parameters with data derived from the Thematic Mapper (TM ...

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.

Global patterns of insect herbivory in gap and understorey environments, and their implications for woody plant carbon storage [PDF]

, 2018
Insect herbivory is thought to favour carbon allocation to storage in juveniles of shade-tolerant trees. This argument assumes that insect herbivory in the understorey is sufficiently intense as to select for storage; however, understoreys might be less ...

Uniform female-biased sex ratios in alpine willows [PDF]

, 2012
Premise of the study: The development of biased sex ratios in dioecious plant species has been ascribed to either (1) factors influencing differential adult mortality of male and female plants or (2) factors acting at an early life stage that determine ...

Combined Effects of Heavy Metal and Simulated Herbivory on Leaf Trichome Density in Sunflowers

Plants
Trichomes play a key role in both heavy metal tolerance and herbivory defense, and both stressors have been shown to induce increased trichome density.

Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Healthy and Aphid-Stressed Scots Pine Emissions. [PDF]

, 2019
One barrier to predicting biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in a changing climate can be attributed to the complex nature of plant volatile emissions.

Primary Metabolic Response of Aristolochia contorta to Simulated Specialist Herbivory under Elevated CO₂ Conditions

Plants
This study explores how elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels affects the growth and defense mechanisms of plants. We focused on Aristolochia contorta Bunge (Aristolochiaceae), a wild plant that exhibits growth reduction under elevated CO2 in the previous
