Linking herbivore experience, varied diets, and plant biochemical diversity

FD Provenza, JJ Villalba, LE Dziba, SB Atwood… - Small ruminant …, 2003 - Elsevier
We contend diets and habitats that allow animals to select among alternatives enable
individuals to better meet needs for nutrients and to better cope with toxins. All plants contain …

Salivary proteins as a defense against dietary tannins

T Shimada - Journal of chemical ecology, 2006 - Springer
Tannins, a diverse group of water-soluble phenolics with high affinity to proteins, are widely
distributed in various parts of plants, and have negative effects in herbivores after ingestion …

The dilemma of foraging herbivores: dealing with food and fear

C McArthur, PB Banks, R Boonstra, JS Forbey - Oecologia, 2014 - Springer
For foraging herbivores, both food quality and predation risk vary across the landscape.
Animals should avoid low-quality food patches in favour of high-quality ones, and seek safe …

Experience influences diet mixing by herbivores: implications for plant biochemical diversity

JJ Villalba, FD Provenza, G Han - Oikos, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We often assume the intrinsic value of a food or habitat is similar for individuals of a species
and above a certain threshold density more profitable foods should always be preferred over …

The value to herbivores of plant physical and chemical diversity in time and space

FD Provenza, JJ Villalba, J Haskell… - Crop …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Whether foraging on pastures or rangelands, herbivores encounter plant species that differ
in their concentrations of nutrients. They also all contain various secondary compounds that …

Consequences of the interaction between nutrients and plant secondary metabolites on herbivore selectivity: benefits or detriments for plants?

JJ Villalba, FD Provenza, JP Bryant - Oikos, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Concentrations of nutrients and plant secondary metabolites (PSM) vary temporally and
spatially, creating a multidimensional feeding environment. Interactions between nutrients …

The detoxification limitation hypothesis: where did it come from and where is it going?

KJ Marsh, IR Wallis, RL Andrew, WJ Foley - Journal of chemical ecology, 2006 - Springer
The detoxification limitation hypothesis is firmly entrenched in the literature to explain
various aspects of the interaction between herbivores and plant toxins. These include …

Exploitation of secondary metabolites by animals: a response to homeostatic challenges

JS Forbey, AL Harvey, MA Huffman… - Integrative and …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We propose that the exploitation of the bioactive properties of secondary metabolites (SMs)
by animals can provide a “treatment” against various challenges that perturb homeostasis in …

Behavioral strategies of mammal herbivores against plant secondary metabolites: the avoidance–tolerance continuum

GR Iason, JJ Villalba - Journal of chemical ecology, 2006 - Springer
We review the evidence for behavioral avoidance of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs)
and identify how, and the circumstances under which it occurs. Behavioral strategies of …

[LIVRE][B] A history of atmospheric CO2 and its effects on plants, animals, and ecosystems

TE Cerling, MD Dearing, JR Ehleringer - 2005 - Springer
Our planet's atmosphere is thought to have changed gradually and over a very wide range
of CO2 concentrations throughout history. From ancient atmospheric gases trapped in ice …
