Functional Biology of Plants
There are several types of structural defence, which can be broadly divided into
spinescence, pubescence, sclerophylly and mineral deposition. • Spinescence
involves the production of thorns, spines and prickles. These are generally large
...

Invasion Biology and Ecological Theory: Insights from a ...
Third, they are better defended against herbivory than native species because of
their high level of allocation to spinescence. Thus they are likely to be less
suppressed by herbivory than native species, providing them with an additional ...

Australian Mammal Society
The development of spines compensates for slow movement by minimising
predation (Abensperg-Traun 1991). Spinescence in Old and New World
porcupines such as Hystrix indica and Coendou prehensilis may be similarly
explained as ...

Multiplicity in Unity: Plant Subindividual Variation and ...
Within-plant variation in degree of stem spinescence has a similar origin in some
thornless horticultural varieties of blackberries (Rubus laciniatus). These are
periclinal chimeras in which the epidermis (originating from the L1 layer) has ...

Physiological Ecology of North American Desert Plants: with ...
Within the most arid areas, those species native to the most nutrient-rich sites,
and thus most likely to receive herbivore damage, exhibited the greatest
occurrence of spinescence. These results support the inferred benefit of evolving
