In response to insect attack,plants use intricate signaling pathways,including phytohormones,such as jasmonate(JA),ethylene(ET),and salicylic acid(SA),to activate defenses.Maize(Zea mays)is one of the most important s...

Semiarid Patagonia represents 25%of the rangeland area in Argentina,and sheep overgrazing has degraded about a third of it in the past.In this century,depleted domestic stocks have mostly stabilized,but Guanaco popula...
The Puna grasslands support grazing systems that produce meat and wool in multi-species herds,especially from llama(Lama glama)and sheep.However,it is yet unknown whether grazing pressure can modify grassland structur...
Diospyros texana (Texas persimmon) is a secondary species in most Juniperus ashei/Quercus fusiformis woodlands in central Texas. It has high density, but plants are mostly in the community understory. Light response c...

INTRODUCTION Plants change their traits to respond to shifting environments,enabling them to defend against biotic stresses such as herbivorous insects,and/or tolerate abiotic stresses,such as extreme climate(Callaway...
Herbivory is common in mammals,yet our understanding of detoxification processes used by mammals to biotrans-form plant secondary compounds(PSCs)is limited.Specialist herbivores are thought to have evolved detoxifica-...
