1. Resistance of maize landraces from Brazil to fall armyworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the winter and summer seasons
ABSTRACT The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a major maize (Zea mays L.) pest in Brazil, whose larvae cause losses from plant emergence to harvesting stage. This pest has been controlled almost exclusively with chemical insecticides and Bt plants (transgenics); however, resistance evolution has been detected to these two control tactics. Therefore,

2. Antiherbivory defense mechanisms along an environmental gradient in restinga
ABSTRACT Plant-herbivore interactions have directed the evolution of defense mechanisms in plants, which can vary intraspecifically according to environmental quality. This study evaluated variation in the production of antiherbivory defenses in plant species distributed along an environmental gradient of restinga. The study was performed in Parque Estadual

3. Defense-related proteins involved in sugarcane responses to biotic stress
Abstract Sugarcane is one of the most important agricultural crops in the world. However, pathogen infection and herbivore attack cause constant losses in yield. Plants respond to pathogen infection by inducing the expression of several protein types, such as glucanases, chitinases, thaumatins, peptidase inhibitors, defensins, catalases and glycoproteins. Pr

4. Does inter-plant variation in sprouting time affect the growth/reproduction trade-off and herbivory in a tropical tree species?
ABSTRACT The timing of phenological events varies within and among populations, affecting the performance of individual plants differently. We evaluated the effects of relative variation in sprouting time on the display of reproductive events, vegetative growth and herbivory in Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae). A total of 93 trees of C. langsdorffii was mon

5. Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in the Pericopine Moth Scearctia figulina (Erebidae: Arctiinae): Metabolism and Chemical Defense
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are defensive compounds present in several plant families. However, some specialist herbivore insects have overcome these toxic compounds and sequester PAs converted to N-oxide as a defense against predators and a precursor of male sexual pheromones. In this context, we investigated PA sequestration by the specialist pericopine

6. Hemiparasitism effect on Baccharis dracunculifolia DC. and consequences to its major galling herbivore
ABSTRACTMistletoes obtain nutrients and water from their hosts, with varying effects among those hosts. We assessed the factors that influence the colonization of the mistletoe Struthanthus flexicaulis on Baccharis dracunculifolia and the subsequent effects on host performance. We evaluated the incidence of S. flexicaulis according to size (height classes) a

7. Distributional patterns of herbivore megamammals during the Late Pleistocene of South America
A distribuição geográfica de 27 espécies da megafauna de mamíferos herbívoros sul-americanos durante o Pleistoceno Superior foi analisada, visando à identificação de seus padrões de distribuição. A distribuição das espécies foi estudada com o uso do método pan-biogeográfico de análise de traços. Seis traços generalizados (TGs) e dois nós

8. Biology and life table of Dirphia araucariae (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae): A herbivore of potentially high impact on Araucaria angustifolia
The life-history and biology of Dirphia araucariae Jones, 1908, including its life fertility table, are here described. Moths were reared in the laboratory under controlled conditions on their host plant, Araucaria angustifolia (Bertoloni) O. Kuntze - Araucariaceae. We describe several life-history traits of the species, namely: developmental period, surviva

9. Purification of trypsin inhibitor from seeds of Cicer arietinum (L.) and its insecticidal potential against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)
Trypsin inhibitors (TI) have crucial functions in plant defense against pests, and recent studies reveal their diversity in stress response. Disease and herbivore infestations are harmful to plant growth, but the response of TI in Cicer arietinum (L.) in Central India has been less studied. In the present study, we partially characterized the TI from Cicer a

10. Herbívoros de médio e grande porte do Cerrado: influência na ecologia de plantas e comportamento de forrageio
Vertebrate herbivores feeding on flowers and fruits can alter the balance between vegetative growth and plant reproduction. In the Brazilian Cerrado, fire can act in this process attracting herbivores to burned areas and influencing plant reproduction. An herbivores foraging behavior may also influence on herbivory effect size. This work aims to analyze fire

11. Evaluation of larvicidal activity of the methanolic extracts of Piper alatabaccum branches and P. tuberculatum leaves and compounds isolated against Anopheles darlingi
Piper is a notable genus among Piperaceae due to their secondary metabolites such as lignans, amides, esters and long chain fatty acids used as anti-herbivore defenses with comparable effects of pyrethroids, that holds a promise in insect control, including malaria vectors such as Anopheles darlingi, the main vector in the North of Brazil. Methanolic extract

12. Evolução e ecologia de tricomas em Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): estruturas morfológicas de defesa anti-herbivoria? / Evolution and ecology of trichomes in Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): morphological structures of anti-herbivory defense?
This thesis focused on the evolutionary-ecology of trichomes in the tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae), and in the potential defensive role of these structures against herbivores. More specifically, we characterized four trichome morphotypes found in vegetative plant parts of representatives of the Bignonieae, as well as studied the macro-evolutionary patterns
