Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dispersal and the holocene migration of woodland herbs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the long-term spread of the understory herb Asarum canadense by ants and found that the largest distance ants are known to move the seeds of any woodland herb is up to 35 m.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population growth and viability analyses of the clonal woodland herb, Asarum canadense
Hans Damman,Michael L. Cain +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the relative impact of reproduction and survival on the persistence of populations of the North American woodland herb, Asarum canadense found sexual and clonal reproduction had less impact on population growth than did survival, and seedling recruitment was important, as indicated by the relatively high rates of genet turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonal growth and ramet performance in the woodland herb, Asarum canadense.
Michael L. Cain,Hans Damman +1 more
TL;DR: As has been observed for some other clonal plant species, few costs were found for either sexual or asexual reproduction and Asarum canadense appears to be under unusually strong selection for seedling survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two forms of egg defence in a chrysomelid beetle: egg clumping and excrement cover
Hans Damman,Naomi Cappuccino +1 more
TL;DR: By placing eggs in masses, females may ensure that at least the upper eggs in any egg mass are effectively protected against virtually all natural enemies likely to pose a threat.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 4 – Spatial Behavior and Temporal Dynamics of Outbreak and Nonoutbreak Species
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the possibility that Exema larvae move around on the host plant to avoid damaged-induced changes, the behavior and performance of larvae on ramets were compared with simulated chewing damage to that of larvae in control ramets, of which only a few are reported to cause damage that qualifies them as outbreak species.
