Title: Microdistribution of the beach plant Cakile maritima (Brassicaceae) as influenced by a rodent herbivore: Journal: American Journal of Botany; Authors: R. S. Boyd; Date: 1988; Summary: Boyd determined if the distribution of Cakile maritima, a forage species preferred by deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus),on California coasts was impacted by deer mouse herbivory. C. maritima seed and seedling herbivory were most intense within patches of Ammophila arenaria, an introduced grass species,and the intensity of herbivory decreased as distance from patch borders increased. C. maritima seed herbivory was greater than seedling herbivory and deer mice would travel farther from A. arenaria patches to consume seeds. The author concluded that herbivory does impact the distribution of C ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
