Determination of Hydrolyzable Tannins (Gallotannins and Ellagitannins) after Reaction with Potassium Iodate
TL;DR: In the new method, hydrolyzable tannins are reacted at 85 degrees C for 20 h in methanol/sulfuric acid to quantitatively release methyl gallate, and with plant samples, relative standard deviations of less than 3% were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
What goes up must come down? nutrient addition and predation pressure on oak herbivores
TL;DR: This work examined the relative impacts of top-down and bottom-up forces on oak–herbivore communities by factorial manipulation of predation pressure and plant growth and quality through the addition of fertilizer to and the exclusion of birds from Quercus prinus and Q. rubra saplings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hurricane damage influences foliar polyphenolics and subsequent herbivory on surviving trees
TL;DR: Higher foliar astringency of trees in sites damaged by Hurricane Opal, levels of defoliation by insect herbivores were higher in damaged than in control sites on both tree species, and apparent increases in putative defensive compounds following hurricane damage did not protect trees from herbivory.
