Grazing refuges, external avoidance of herbivory and plant diversity (2002, background): “…groups are greater inside cactus clumps than in grazed areas outside the clumps, and comparisons between long-term exclosures and grazing treatments indicate that many of the cactus effects are due to herbivore avoidance rather than microclimatic effects of the clumps (Rebollo et al. 2002a, b).”
Canopy vs. soil effects of shrubs facilitating tree seedlings in Mediterranean montane ecosystems (2005, background): “On the other hand, canopies of benefactor species can avoid or diminish damage to beneficiary species by the possession of structures that repel prospective herbivores (e.g. thorns, spines), or just by physically hiding them (Wahl & Hay 1995; Hjältén & Price 1997; Rebollo et al. 2002).”
Small-scale habitat use and assemblage structure of ground-dwelling beetles in a Patagonian shrub steppe (2006, background): “Despite the high conservation priority of Patagonian steppes as wilderness areas (Mittermeier et al., 2003), the ecology of arthropod communities inhabiting them remains poorly known (Sackmann et al., 2006).”
Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, unknown): “…provide mechanical protection against herbivory (Janzen and Martin 1982 ; Janzen 1986 ; Tomlinson 1990 ; Myers and Bazely 1991 ; Grubb 1992 ; Rebollo et al. 2002) because they can wound mouths, digestive systems (Janzen and Martin 1982 ; Cooper and Owen-Smith 1986 ; Janzen 1986) , and other…”
Conditional outcomes in plant/herbivore interactions: neighbours matter (2006, background): “Thus, nurse plants can provide protection from browsing, increasing plant-community diversity by harbouring sensitive species (Milchunas and Noy-Meir 2002, Rebollo et al. 2002).”
Contrasting effects of cattle and wildlife on the vegetation development of a savanna landscape mosaic (2010, background): “Herbivore damage to plants can alter competitive interactions (Gurevitch, Morrison & Hedges 2000), and in other cases herbivore avoidance of well-defended or unpalatable species may benefit more palatable plant neighbours (Bertness & Callaway 1994; Rebollo et al. 2002).”
A handbook of protocols for standardised and easy measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2003, background): “References on theory and significance: Milton (1991); Grubb (1992); Cooper and Ginnett (1998); Pisani and Distel (1998); Olff et al. (1999); Hanley and Lamont (2002); Rebollo et al. (2002).”
