Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: a review and perspective
Until the 1990s, herbivory on aquatic vascular plants was considered to be of minor
importance, and the predominant view was that freshwater and marine macrophytes did not …

Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence
We consider the role that key structural traits, such as spinescence, pubescence,
sclerophylly and raphides, play in protecting plants from herbivore attack. Despite the …
