• Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, neutral): “Like silica bodies in plants, calcium oxalate bodies have several functions, including tissue calcium regulation, defense from herbivory, metal detoxification, and structural functions (Franceschi and Horner 1980 ; Ruiz et al. 2002 ; Nakata 2003 ; Franceschi and Nakata 2005) .”
• Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence (2007, background): “Calcium oxalate crystals have been recorded in most terrestrial plant families; the most commonly described being the starshaped raphides that aggregate in bundles within plant cells (Franceschi and Nakata, 2005).”
