Question 1: Read Agrawall 2005. It appears that plants are adapting to herbivory. How do the mechanisms described within the paper assist herbivores?
Agrawal, AA. 2005. Future directions in the study of induced plant responses to herbivory. EntomologiaExperimentalisetApplicata 115: 97-105
Question 2: Read Marcelis and Heuvelink 2007. Under what nutrient loads can you expect to produce more leaf and stem growth? Under what loads for root growth?
Marcelis, LFM, and E Heuvelink. 2007. Concepts of Modelling Carbon Allocation Among Plant Organs. In: J Vos, LFM Marcelis, PHB de Visser, PC Struik, and JB Evers (eds.), Functional-Structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production, Springer; pp 103-111.
Question 3: Some animals appear to survive anoxic conditions, including certain species of nematodes. Being fairly active animals, what do they do to avoid oxygen debt?
