Herbivory and leaf mass in Peltogyne confertiflora (Mart. Ex Hayne) Benth. Fabales Bromhead Fabaceae Lindl. at Forest and Cerrado

Herbivory and leaf mass in Peltogyne confertiflora (Mart. Ex Hayne) Benth. Fabales Bromhead Fabaceae Lindl. at Forest and Cerrado

As the environment is the most important factor responsible for the morphological characteristics of plants, is expected to find differences in herbivory rates at different habitats. In this study we compared the leaf herbivory rate in Peltogyne confertiflora (Mart. ex Hayne) Benth. in forest and op...

Lenza, Eddie phytophysiognomies leaf predation animal-plant interactions fitofisionomias predação foliar interação planta-animal As the environment is the most important factor responsible for the morphological characteristics of plants, is expected to find differences in herbivory rates at different habitats. In this study we compared the leaf herbivory rate in Peltogyne confertiflora (Mart. ex Hayne) Benth. in forest and open vegetation (cerrado) in the Cerrado biome, and evaluated if the herbivory could be explained by individual morphological characters or by amount of resource. The herbivory rates were bigest in forest. Leaf biomass was selected as most important variable for explain herbivory rate in forest and cerrado.

Como o ambiente é um dos principais fatores responsáveis pelas características morfológicas de espécies vegetais, é esperado encontrar diferentes taxas de herbivoria em indivíduos de ambientes distintos. Neste trabalho comparamos a taxa de herbivoria foliar em Peltogyne confertiflora (Mart. ex Hayne) Benth. entre ambiente de floresta e de cerrado e avaliamos se a herbivoria é explicada por características morfológicas dos indivíduos ou pela quantidade de recurso. A taxa de herbivoria foi maior em ambiente florestal. Biomassa foliar foi selecionada como a variável mais importante para explicar a taxa de herbivoria em floresta e em cerrado. Aparentemente existe um efeito densidade-dependente na taxa de herbivoria, reforçando a necessidade da quantificação da biomassa em estudos semelhantes.
