In these ways, herbivory short-circuits the decomposition process and speeds rates of nutrient cycling. |
Also, plant herbivory is an unlikely explanation for the decline in inflorescence number because plants were caged during this study. |
Modern species thrive under intense herbivory from snails, chitons, and limpets, and this has been suggested as one reason for their success. |
Grazing by large herbivores does not favour cyanogenesis, but some invertebrate herbivory may do so. |
Atsatt and O'Dowd argued that the susceptibility of a plant to herbivory is affected by the identity and proximity of its neighbors. |
The three environmental factors of leaf litter cover, herbivory, and substrate were studied. |
