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
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?
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
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
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 …
