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 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. Apparently there is a density-dependent effect on the rate of herbivory, highlighting the need for quantification of biomass in similar studies.
