Neighborhood phylodiversity affects plant performance.
Facilitation and competition are ecological interactions that are crucial for the organization of plant communities. Facilitative interactions tend to occur among distantly related species, while the strength of competition tends to decrease with phylogenetic distance. The balance between both types of interactions will ultimately determine the specific composition of multispecies associations....
متن کاملBehavioral responses to plant toxins by two omnivorous lizard species.
An ability to detect plant toxins and thereby avoid eating chemically defended plants would be very beneficial for omnivorous and herbivorous lizards. We studied the ability of the omnivorous Podarcis lilfordi to detect compounds belonging to three classes of common plant toxins, as well as responses indicating aversion. Solutions of the alkaloid quinine, saponin, and the phenolic coumarin, as ...
متن کاملHost plant phenology affects performance of an invasive weevil, Phyllobius oblongus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in a northern hardwood forest.
We investigated how host plant phenology and plant species affected longevity, reproduction, and feeding behavior of an invasive weevil. Phyllobius oblongus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is common in northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes Region. Adults emerge in spring, feed on foliage of woody understory plants, and oviposit in the soil. Preliminary data indicate that adults often fee...

متن کاملVegetation disturbance by fire affects plant reproductive phenology in a shrubland community in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina
Reproductive phenology is likely to vary spatially with environmental conditions that alter microclimate, in particular temperature. We hypothesized that within the same plant community type, environmental changes produced by recent burning would alter plant phenological patterns and temporal structure of the plant community. Specifically, we predicted accelerated flowering and fruiting dates i...
