| Abstract/Contents: | "We examined the effects of a root-feeding beetle larva (Anomala cuprea Hope) on the survival and biomass of Lolium perenne L. and Plantago lanceolata L. plants at various ages. We hypothesized that belowground herbivory would kill more juveniles than mature plants because of greater root damage. We predicted that for juvenile plants, mortality would be higher for P. lanceolata than for L. perenne, because the thin taproot of P. lanceolata is less tolerant to herbivory. We hypothesized that for mature plants, herbivory of fibrous roots would negatively affect biomass; thus, L. perenne would be less tolerant than P. lanceolata. Plants of L. perenne or P. lanceolata at four ages were grown in pots with or without a herbivore. Herbivores killed juvenile plants, but not mature plants, of both species. More juveniles of P. lanceolata than L. perenne were killed by herbivory. In P. lanceolata, the low biomass of juveniles was attributed to herbivory, but herbivory did not affect the biomass of mature plants. In contrast, herbivory negatively affected the biomass of L. perenne plants of all ages. We concluded that the effects of belowground herbivory depend on plant age and, thus, on plant growth stage and root architecture." |
