Seasonal changes in oak leaf tannins and nutrients as a cause of spring feeding by winter moth caterpillars

TL;DR: The content of oak leaf tannins, which inhibit the growth of winter moth larvae, increases during the summer and may render leaves less suitable for insect growth by further reducing the availability of nitrogen and perhaps also by influencing leaf palatability.

Gene Flow in Seed Plants

TL;DR: Gene dispersal (flow) within and between plant populations has been of continuous interest to plant breeders and seed producers for many decades, but only during the past two decades have a large body of plant evolutionists become interested in information accruing from these studies, and in the rates of gene flow in wild populations.

Calcium oxalate crystals in plants

TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to present an overview of plant crystal idioblasts and Ca oxalate crystals and to include the most recent literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence

TL;DR: It is concluded that leaf-mass–area is a robust index of sclerophylly as a surrogate for more rigorous mechanical properties used in herbivory studies and how a better understanding of plant structural defence would improve the understanding of Plant defence theory and enable us to predict how plant morphological responses to climate change might influence interactions at the individual, species, and ecosystem levels.

Comparative studies of leaf form: assessing the relative roles of selective pressures and phylogenetic constraints

TL;DR: The crucial role of ecological, biogeographic and phylogenetic comparisons in generating and testing hypotheses regarding the adaptive significance of morphological variation, the relative importance of selective pressures vs phylogenetic constraints, and the rise of adaptations within lineages is illustrated.
