OOS 48 - Seedling-Herbivore Interactions: Insights Into
Plant Defense and Regeneration Patterns
A107, Oregon Convention Center
Organized by: KE Barton (kbarton@hawaii.edu), M Hanley
Moderator: KE Barton
An examination of how seedling-herbivore interactions and seedling
defense can shed new light on the evolution of plant defense and
community ecology through a cross-synthesis of functional studies
of plant defense and studies focusing the role of seedling herbivory
in biodiversity, invasion biology, and regeneration.
