New Phytol
. 2018 Feb;
218(2):847-858.
PMID: 29436716
The need for species identification and taxonomic discovery has led to the development of innovative technologies for large-scale plant identification. DNA barcoding has been useful, but fails to distinguish among...

Ecol Evol
. 2016 Feb;
6(2):478-92.
PMID: 26843932
Selective pressures imposed by herbivores are often positively correlated with investments that plants make in defense. Research based on the framework of an evolutionary arms race has improved our understanding...

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...

Sci China Life Sci
. 2014 May;
57(6):596-602.
PMID: 24829105
Co-evolutionary theory assumes co-adapted characteristics are a positive response to counter those of another species, whereby co-evolved species reach an evolutionarily stable interaction through bilateral adaptation. However, evidence from the...

. 2012 Sep;
38(10):1318-39.
PMID: 22976591
The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is the most widespread browsing marsupial in Australia, where it occupies woodland, agricultural, and urban environments. Following its introduction into New Zealand in the...

PLoS One
. 2011 Oct;
6(10):e24934.
PMID: 22022369
Generally, sigmoid curves are used to describe the growth of animals over their lifetime. However, because growth rates often differ over an animal's lifetime a single curve may not accurately...

J Chem Ecol
. 2008 Apr;
34(5):672-80.
PMID: 18401660
The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) is a generalist herbivore whose diet includes Eucalyptus leaves that are well defended by plant secondary metabolites (PSM) such as the terpene 1,8-cineole (cineole)....

Ecology
. 2006 Sep;
87(9):2236-43.
PMID: 16995624
Generalist mammalian browsers and folivores feed on a range of chemically different plant species, which may assist them in diluting toxins and diversifying nutrient consumption. The frequency and order in...

J Chem Ecol
. 2006 Jun;
32(6):1133-47.
PMID: 16770709
Mammalian herbivores, particularly browsers and folivores, encounter and consume a range of plant chemical defenses [plant secondary metabolites (PSMs)] on a regular basis. The physiological regulation of PSM ingestion and...

Oecologia
. 2005 Dec;
147(4):650-7.
PMID: 16328546
Generalist mammalian herbivores exploit a diverse diet. A generalised feeding strategy utilises a mixed diet to obtain a range of nutrients and to reduce the detoxication load of similar groups...
