'Herbivores'




Titre : The ecology of browsing and grazing Type de document : livre Auteurs : Gordon, I.J.(Ed.) ; Prins, H.H.T.(Ed.) Editeur : Berlin : Springer Année de publication : 2008 Collection : Ecological studies; 195 Importance : 328 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-540-72421-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Animal-plant relationships Browsing (Animal behavior) Ecology Grazing Herbivores Mammals UNGULATES Résumé : Extensive grazing and browsing by domestic and wild herbivores shape the vegetation composition, structure and dynamics of many terrestrial ecosystems. This volume investigates how large herbivores not only influence the structure and distribution of the vegetation, but also affect nutrient flows and the responses of associated fauna. The mechanisms and processes underlying the herbivores' behaviour, distribution, movement and direct impact on the vegetation, and the dynamics of nutrients, plant species, and vegetation composition in terrestrial ecosystems are discussed in detail. It is shown that an understanding of plant/animal interactions can provide practical advice on the management of large herbivores to integrate production and conservation in terrestrial systems, particularly in the face of environmental and climate change.

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.
