Environmental factors act as drivers of species coexistence or competition. Mesic
environments favor the action of parasites and predators on gall communities, while the …

Abiotic factors can affect plant performance and cause stress, which in turn affects plant–
herbivore interactions. The Environmental Stress Hypothesis (ESH) predicts that gall …

The Trophic Cascade Theory has been used to explain the organization of herbivorous
insect communities in tropical ecosystems. In addition, the insect community associated with …

Gall-forming insects are sophisticated sedentary herbivores that present high level of
specificity with host plant, but their performance can be affected by biotic and abiotic factors …

BACKGROUND Cadmium (Cd), as an environmental pollutant, can endanger various
biological and chemical characteristics of plants in multiple aspects. In this study, the effects …

The dynamics of occurrence of target organs in plant populations produces windows of
opportunity that directly and indirectly affect the structure of herbivore communities …

The organization of gall-inducing insect communities can be affected by environmental
factors and host plant traits that may operate at different spatial scales. Using Copaifera …

Seed predation is a major seed event in palms and affects seedling recruitment and the
economic value of fruits. We investigated variations in the vegetative and reproductive traits …

Premise Knowledge of intra‐specific variation in seed traits and its environmental
determinants is important for predicting plant responses to environmental changes. Here, we …

The phenology has been discussed according to climatic variations and the environmental
characteristics of each physiognomy, trying to identify if there is variation in the vegetative …
