Herbivory in Complex and Simple Tropical Successional Ecosystems
To investigate the relationship between herbivory and floristic complexity, we measured losses to herbivores in four 0.1— to 4—yr—old tropical ecosystems: (1) unmanipulated succ...
Herbivory and Defensive Characteristics of Tree Species in a Lowland Tropical Forest
Rates of herbivory and defensive characteristics of young and mature leaves were measured for saplings of 46 canopy tree species in a lowland tropical rain forest (Barro Colorad...
Plant Secondary Metabolites as Defenses, Regulators, and Primary Metabolites: The Blurred Functional Trichotomy
The plant kingdom produces hundreds of thousands of low molecular weight organic compounds. Based on the assumed functions of these compounds, the research community has classif...
Organization of a Plant‐Arthropod Association in Simple and Diverse Habitats: The Fauna of Collards (Brassica Oleracea)
Collards were grown at Ithaca, New York, in two experimental habitats: pure stands and single rows that were bounded on each side by diverse, meadow vegetation. The arthropods a...
Neotropical Anachronisms: The Fruits the Gomphotheres Ate
Frugivory by extinct horses, gomphotheres, ground sloths, and other Pleistocene megafauna offers a key to understanding certain plant reproductive traits in Central American low...
