Ecological applications of near infrared reflectance spectroscopy – a tool for rapid, cost-effective prediction of the composition of plant and animal tissues and aspects of animal performance
- W. Foley, Allen McIlwee, I. Lawler, L. Aragones, A. Woolnough, N. Berding
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 1 September 1998
Abstract Many ecological studies rely heavily on chemical analysis of plant and animal tissues. Often, there is limited time and money to perform all the required analyses and this can result in less… Expand
Assessing the evidence for latitudinal gradients in plant defence and herbivory
- Angela T. Moles, S. Bonser, A. G. Poore, I. Wallis, W. Foley
- Biology
- 1 April 2011
Summary
1. The idea that biotic interactions, including herbivory, predation and competition are more intense at lower latitudes is widely accepted and underpins several dominant theories on the… Expand
Estimating foliage nitrogen concentration from HYMAP data using continuum, removal analysis
- Z. Huang, B. Turner, S. Dury, I. R. Wallis, W. Foley
- Mathematics
- 30 October 2004
The concentrations of various foliar chemicals can be estimated by analyzing the spectral reflectance of dried ground leaves. The continuum-removal analysis of Kokaly and Clark [Remote Sens. Environ.… Expand
The genome of Eucalyptus grandis

- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 19 June 2014
Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and… Expand
Protein content of diets dictates the daily energy intake of a free-ranging primate
- A. Felton, A. Felton, +5 authors D. Lindenmayer
- Biology
- 1 July 2009
An important goal in nutritional ecology is to understand what governs the diet selection of free-living animals. Relevant information is however scarce because of the considerable challenges of… Expand
Comparative SNP diversity among four Eucalyptus species for genes from secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways
- C. Külheim, Suat Hui Yeoh, Jens Maintz, W. Foley, G. Moran
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Genomics
- 24 September 2009
BackgroundThere is little information about the DNA sequence variation within and between closely related plant species. The combination of re-sequencing technologies, large-scale DNA pools and… Expand
Progress in Myrtaceae genetics and genomics: Eucalyptus as the pivotal genus
- D. Grattapaglia, R. Vaillancourt, +5 authors Alexander A. Myburg
- Biology
- Tree Genetics & Genomes
- 15 April 2012
The status of genomics and genetics research in the Myrtaceae, a large family of dicotyledonous woody plants, is reviewed with Eucalyptus as the focal genus. The family contains over 5,650 species in… Expand
Nutritional Ecology of Ateles chamek in lowland Bolivia: How Macronutrient Balancing Influences Food Choices
- A. Felton, A. Felton, +4 authors D. Lindenmayer
- Biology
- International Journal of Primatology
- 5 August 2009
All free-living animals must make choices regarding which foods to eat, with the choices influencing their health and fitness. An important goal in nutritional ecology is therefore to understand what… Expand
Conflicting demands on detoxification pathways influence how common brushtail possums choose their diets.
- K. J. Marsh, I. R. Wallis, S. McLean, Jennifer S. Sorensen, W. Foley
- Biology, Medicine
- Ecology
- 1 August 2006
Most herbivores eat more and survive better when they have access to a variety of foods. One explanation involves the detoxification of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs). By feeding from a variety… Expand
Antiherbivore Chemistry of Eucalyptus--Cues and Deterrents for Marsupial Folivores
