The ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions / Rico-Gray, V. ; Oliveira, P.S. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : The ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions Type de document : livre Auteurs : Rico-Gray, V. ; Oliveira, P.S. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Interspecific interactions Importance : 331 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-71348-9 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 10/04/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal-plant relationships  Ants  Evolution  Plant-animal interaction Résumé : Ants are probably the most dominant insect group on Earth, representing ten to fifteen percent of animal biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. Flowering plants, meanwhile, owe their evolutionary success to an array of interspecific interactions-such as pollination, seed dispersal, and herbivory-that have helped to shape their great diversity. The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions brings together findings from the scientific literature on the coevolution of ants and plants to provide a better understanding of the unparalleled success of these two remarkable groups, of interspecific interactions in general, and ultimately of terrestrial biological communities. The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions synthesizes the dynamics of ant-plant interactions, including the sources of variation in their outcomes. Victor Rico-Gray and Paulo S. Oliveira capture both the emerging appreciation of the importance of these interactions within ecosystems and the developing approaches that place studies of these interactions into a broader ecological and evolutionary context. The collaboration of two internationally renowned scientists, The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions will become a standard reference for understanding the complex interactions between these two taxa.

Induced responses to herbivory / Karban, R. ; Baldwin, I.T. (1997)  

Public ISBD Titre : Induced responses to herbivory Type de document : livre Auteurs : Karban, R. ; Baldwin, I.T. Editeur : Chicago : The University of Chicago Press Année de publication : 1997 Collection : Interspecific interactions Importance : 319 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-226-42496-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 29/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ecology  Herbivores  Induced resistance  Plant animal relations  Plant response  Resistance to injurious factors Résumé : Plants face a daunting array of creatures that eat them, bore into them, and otherwise use virtually every plant part for food, shelter, or both. But although plants cannot flee from their attackers, they are far from defenseless. In addition to adaptations like thorns, which may be produced in response to attack, plants actively alter their chemistry and physiology in response to damage. For instance, young potato plant leaves being eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals that inhibit beetle digestive enzymes. Over the past fifteen years, research on these induced responses to herbivory has flourished, and here Richard Karban and Ian T. Baldwin present the first comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of this rapidly developing field. They provide state-of-the-discipline reviews and highlight areas where new research will be most productive. Their comprehensive overview will be welcomed by a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology, and agriculture.
