Plant Community Diversity Influences Allocation to Direct Chemical Defence in Plantago lanceolata
BACKGROUND Forecasting the consequences of accelerating rates of changes in biodiversity for ecosystem functioning requires a mechanistic understanding of the relationships between the structure of biological communities and variation in plant functional characteristics. So far, experimental data of how plant species diversity influences the investment of individual plants in direct chemical de...
متن کاملEarly Root Herbivory Impairs Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Colonization and Shifts Defence Allocation in Establishing Plantago lanceolata
Research into plant-mediated indirect interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and insect herbivores has focussed on those between plant shoots and above-ground herbivores, despite the fact that only below-ground herbivores share the same part of the host plant as AM fungi. Using Plantago lanceolata L., we aimed to characterise how early root herbivory by the vine weevil (Otiorhyn...
متن کاملTemporal trade-offs between nestling provisioning and defence against nest predators in blue tits
0003-3472 2013 The Authors. Published on behalf http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2013.03.043 Offspring provisioning and nest defence are important forms of parental care. In birds, parents that engage in nest defence behaviour have to interrupt nestling provisioning with potentially harmful consequences for offspring growth and condition. To maximize fitness, parents should trade off optimal...
متن کاملPlantain (Plantago lanceolata) – a potential pasture species
Plantago lanceolata L. is a herb species with a broad distribution in grasslands throughout the temperate world. The leaf is highly palatable to grazing animals, providing a mineralrich forage. The species is rapid to establish, grows on a wide range of agricultural soils and is tolerant of drought and of many common diseases and pests. Two productive upright cultivars of plantain have been bre...
متن کاملMultigenerational Effects of Flowering and Fruiting Phenology in Plantago Lanceolata
Phenological patterns of flowering and fruiting can be influenced by the effects of reproductive time on seed production. We propose here that these patterns are also influenced by phenological effects on offspring quality. Furthermore, we hypothesize that there are cross-generational trade-offs between parental and offspring components of parental fitness influencing the evolution of reproduct...
