1.
Marsh K, Wallis I, Kulheim C, Clark R, Nicolle D, Foley W, et al.
New Phytol . 2019 Aug; 225(1):488-498. PMID: 31412143
Although tannins have been an important focus of studies of plant-animal interactions, traditional tannin analyses cannot differentiate between the diversity of structures present in plants. This has limited our understanding...
2.
Marsh K, Ward J, Wallis I, Foley W
J Chem Ecol . 2017 Dec; 44(1):62-71. PMID: 29209932
Ecologists have long been interested in how the nutritional composition of leaves changes as they age, and whether this affects herbivore feeding preferences. As a consequence, the literature abounds with...

Marsh K, Kulheim C, Blomberg S, Thornhill A, Miller J, Wallis I, et al.
Phytochemistry . 2017 Sep; 144:197-207. PMID: 28957714
Many studies quantify total phenolics or total tannins, but understanding the ecological role of polyphenolic secondary metabolites requires at least an understanding of the diversity of phenolic groups present. We...

Henen B, Peterson C, Wallis I, Berry K, Nagy K
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 117(3):365-373. PMID: 28307915
We used the doubly labeled water method to measure the field metabolic rates (FMRs, in kJ kgday) and water flux rates (WIRs, in ml HO kgday) of adult desert tortoises...
5.
Jensen L, Wallis I, Foley W
PLoS One . 2015 May; 10(5):e0121584. PMID: 25938422
Although ecologists believe that vertebrate herbivores must select a diet that allows them to meet their nutritional requirements, while avoiding intoxication by plant secondary metabolites, this is remarkably difficult to...

Stalenberg E, Wallis I, Cunningham R, Allen C, Foley W
PLoS One . 2014 Dec; 9(12):e113930. PMID: 25470599
It is widely postulated that nutritional factors drive bottom-up, resource-based patterns in herbivore ecology and distribution. There is, however, much controversy over the roles of different plant constituents and how...

Jensen L, Wallis I, Marsh K, Moore B, Wiggins N, Foley W
Oecologia . 2014 Jun; 176(1):251-8. PMID: 24974269
The marsupials that eat Eucalyptus in south-eastern Australia provide an example of animals with similar niche requirements occurring sympatrically. They certainly differ in size, ranging from about 1 kg in...
8.
Marsh K, Moore B, Wallis I, Foley W
Oecologia . 2013 Nov; 174(3):873-82. PMID: 24253506
Adequate nutrition is a fundamental requirement for the maintenance and growth of populations, but complex interactions between nutrients and plant toxins make it difficult to link variation in plant quality...

Espinosa-Gomez F, Gomez-Rosales S, Wallis I, Canales-Espinosa D, Hernandez-Salazar L
J Comp Physiol B . 2013 Jun; 183(8):1089-100. PMID: 23743799
Mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) occupy a wide variety of tropical habitats and are the most folivorous of New World primates. However, their diet may include fruits, buds, petioles, and...

Au J, Marsh K, Wallis I, Foley W
J Comp Physiol B . 2013 May; 183(7):993-1003. PMID: 23640139
The detoxification limitation hypothesis predicts that the metabolism and biotransformation of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) elicit a cost to herbivores. There have been many attempts to estimate these costs to...
