Ecosystem services provided by bats
Thomas H. Kunz,Elizabeth Braun de Torrez,Dana Marie Bauer,Tatyana A. Lobova,Theodore H. Fleming +4 more
TL;DR: Information on the ecological and economic value of ecosystem services provided by bats can be used to inform decisions regarding where and when to protect or restore bat populations and associated habitats, as well as to improve public perception of bats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds
TL;DR: The goals for this review are to lay the groundwork on supporting services to facilitate future efforts to estimate their economic value, to highlight gaps in knowledge, and to point to future directions for additional research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host specificity of insect herbivores in tropical forests.
Vojtech Novotny,Yves Basset +1 more
TL;DR: This conclusion, together with the recent downward revisions of extremely high estimates of tropical species richness, suggest that tropical ecosystems may not be as biodiverse as previously thought.

TL;DR: The functional properties of Piper plants/extracts/active components the antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and neuropharmacological activities of the extracts and extract-derived bioactive constituents are thought to be key effects for the protection against chronic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of Piper spp. (Piperaceae) phytochemistry, insecticidal activity and mode of action
TL;DR: The conclusions of the current work with Piperaceae are that Piper extracts offer a unique and useful source of biopesticide material for controlling small-scale insect out-breaks and reducing the likelihood of resistance development when applied as a synergist with other botanical insecticides such as pyrethrum.

Journal ArticleDOI
Butterflies and plants: a study in coevolution
Paul R. Ehrlich,Peter H. Raven +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between butterflies and their food plants is investigated, the examination of patterns of interaction between two major groups of organisms with a close and evident ecological relationship, such as plants and herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resource Availability and Plant Antiherbivore Defense
TL;DR: Resource availability in the environment is proposed as the major determinant of both the amount and type of plant defense, and theories on the evolution of plant defenses are compared with other theories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon/nutrient balance of boreal plants in relation to vertebrate herbivory
TL;DR: Fundamental differences between the response of woody plants and graminoids to vertebrate herbivory suggest that the dynamics of browsing systems and grazing systems are qualitatively different.

Gaps as Characters in Sequence-Based Phylogenetic Analyses
Mark P. Simmons,Helga Ochoterena +1 more
TL;DR: Treatment of gaps varies widely from secondarily mapping gaps onto the tree inferred from base characters to uniformly applied method of treating gaps, which is lacking in sequence-based phyloge?
