Effect Of Altitude On Cyanide Concentration, Leaf Toughness, And Herbivory In Passiflora Biflora (Passifloraceae), November 2001, Matthew S. Martin Nov 2001

Effect Of Altitude On Cyanide Concentration, Leaf Toughness, And Herbivory In Passiflora Biflora (Passifloraceae), November 2001, Matthew S. Martin

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Insect herbivore diversity and abundance often decreases with increasing elevation due to greater extremes in temperature and climate (Janzen 1983; Hanson 2000). As a result, herbivore pressure on plants found at high altitude is lower. Thus, one might expect a reduction in the levels of antiherbivore defenses such as secondary metabolites or high fiber at higher altitudes. To test this, leaves from the tropical vine Passiflora biflora (Passifloraceae) were sampled in the Monteverde area of Costa Rica, from 800-1600m. Leaves were tested for cyanide levels, toughness, and percent herbivory. Cyanide in the leaves of P. biflora was found to increase …

A Comparison Of Moss-Dwelling Invertebrates Along An Altitudinal Gradient, September 2001, Lauren Afsahi

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Moss abundance and the invertebrates that inhabit moss differ with varying elevations. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a significant difference in diversity and morphospecies composition of moss-dwelling invertebrates between three different elevations on the Pacific slope (1550 m, 1650 m, and 1750 m) along a tropical wet cloud forest. This study also examined if there was a significant difference between the diversity and morphospecies composition between the Atlantic and the Pacific slopes at an altitude of 1750 m. Eighty-one samples of one morphospecies of moss were collected from trees in a tropical wet cloud …
