Defesas contra herbivoria no cerrado: síndromes de defesa e originalidades
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, , 22/02/2010)Plants have traits against herbivory that may occur together and increase defense efficiency. We tested whether there are defense syndromes in a cerrado community and, if so, whether there is a phylogenetic signal in them. ... -

Defesas contra herbivoria e descritores da vegetação: relações com variáveis edáficas em uma área de cerrado
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, , 02/03/2010)Together with fire and climate changes, soil is considered a major determinant in the Braziliancerrado, the richest savanna in the world. Soil can influence plants by filtering species capableof acquiring resources and ... -
Distribuição espacial de espécies arbóreas de cerrado: filogenia e traços de defesa contra herbivoria
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, , 02/03/2010)Herbivory is expected to promote an overdispersed distribution of traits in co-occurring plant species, since similar plants are more vulnerable to specialised herbivores. As long as conservatism of traits is usually ...
