Journal ArticleDOI
Rethinking the role of many plant phenolics - protection from photodamage not herbivores?
Dugald C. Close,Clare McArthur +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that patterns in phenolic levels, often used to support the concept of trade-off between growth and herbivore defence in relation to resource availability, may actually reflect different risks of photodamage.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is discovered that toughness per density contributed a surprisingly large fraction to variation in mechanical resistance, larger than the fractions contributed by lamina thickness and tissue density, and was associated with long leaf lifespan especially in forest understory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tannin chemistry in relation to digestion.
TL;DR: Paper presented at the "Symposium on Ingestion of Poisonous Plants by Livestock," February 15, 1990, Reno, Nevada.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in Mammalian Physiological Responses to a Condensed Tannin and Its Ecological Implications
TL;DR: The defensive role of tannins as digestion inhibitors or toxins is dependent upon the molecular characteristics of the tannin interacting with the physiological capability of the animal and results from one plant-mammal interaction cannot be used to interpret others.
