Large mammalian herbivores modulate plant growth form diversity in a tropical rainforest
The world's terrestrial biomes are broadly classified according to the dominant plant growth
forms that define ecosystem structure and processes. Although the abundance and …

Canopy openness modifies tree seedling distributions along a tropical forest elevation gradient
In theory, canopy openings can influence tree species establishment and resulting
distributions over environmental gradients, but evidence concerning the magnitude and …

Escape as a mechanism of plant resistance against herbivores
RJ Marquis, RF Moura - Plant-Animal Interactions: Source of Biodiversity, 2021 - Springer
Plant traits that lead to escape of plants from their herbivores have not been formerly
considered as part of plant resistance theory. We review the evidence that plant stature …
