Notes
Brown
marine
algae
(Class
Phaeophyceae)
produce
chemicals
(phlorotannins)
that
protect
them from
marine
herbivores
.
Defense-related
factors
create
an
intricate
relationship
between
food
choices
of
herbivores
and
metabolically
costly
production
of
chemical
defenses
for
algae
.
Marine
herbivores
first
concentrate
on
avoiding
morphological
and
chemical
defenses
of
marine
algae
and then,
secondly
, on
algal
nutritional
value
.
Since
production
of
chemical
defenses
is
metabolically
expensive
for
marine
algae
, they
invest
energy
into
protection
of
only
the
most
valuable
tissue
.
Comparisons
between
herbivore-plant
associations
in
terrestrial
and
marine
plant
communities
show
that these
associations
are
applicable
to
terrestrial
plant
communities
, but not to
marine
plant
communities
.
Production
of
chemical
defenses
in
tropical
and
temperate
plant
communities
does
not
follow
latitudinal
gradients
due
to a
wide
range
of
biotic
and
abiotic
factors
.
