Fluctuating asymmetry of and herbivory on Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz (Fabaceae) in pasture and secondary tropical dry forest

Fluctuating asymmetry of and herbivory on Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz (Fabaceae) in pasture and secondary tropical dry forest

Plants subjected to stressful environments tend to be more asymmetric with reduced defenses and are therefore more vulnerable to herbivory. This study investigates the relationship between herbivory and fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in Poincianella pyramidalis in two contrasting habitat types in the Br...
