| description | Rates of insect herbivory (% of leaf area eaten per day) were measured on the radicalis palm (Chamaedorea radicalis Mart.), during three seasons: early and late rainy season and the middle of the dry season at two different sites: temperate and tropical deciduous forest within the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. In addition, some structural plant parameters (height, cover and diameter stem), physical plant parameters (foliar toughness and water content) and chemical plant parameters (nitrogen and phenols content) were measured, these parameters were correlated with timely (punctual) herbivory measurements. Results from this study show that the early wet season had the most feeding damage (0.17% per day); whereas, the dry season had the least damage (0.09% per day). The rate of herbivory per day during the middle of the wet season was 0.13%. These values are greater than those commonly reported from such habitats. The highest plants (1.1 times more), but with the least covers corresponded to the tropical deciduous forest. Within the tropical semideciduos forest this specie cover 2% of understory, whereas to the temperate forest cover 4%. In addition, nitrogen, phenol, and water content of leaves decreased as the season progressed; whereas, leaf toughness increased. We found leaf toughness during the late rainy season and the dry season to be the most effective repellent to herbivory |

Rates of insect herbivory (% of leaf area eaten per day) were measured on the radicalis palm (Chamaedorea radicalis Mart.), during three seasons: early and late rainy season and the middle of the dry season at two different sites: temperate and tropical deciduous forest within the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico.

Adicionalmente, se realizaron mediciones de algunos parámetros estructurales (altura, cobertura y diámetro del tallo), parámetros físicos de la planta (agua foliar y dureza foliar) y parámetros químicos foliares (nitrógeno foliar y fenoles totales), estos fueron correlacionados con mediciones de herbivoría instantánea. Los resultados muestran mayor consumo foliar al inicio de la época lluviosa (0.17% por día), mientras que en la época seca obtuvo el menor registro (0.09% por día). La tasa de herbivoría diaria durante el final de las lluvias fue de 0.13%. Estos valores son más altos de los comúnmente descritos para esos hábitats. Para el bosque tropical las plantas presentaron la mayor altura (1.1 veces más), pero con menor cobertura (2.1 veces menos). Dentro del bosque tropical esta especie cubre el 2% del sotobosque, mientras que en el bosque templado cubre el 4%. El contenido de nitrógeno, fenoles totales y agua foliar de las hojas decrecen en tanto que la estación del año progresa, en tanto que la dureza foliar se incrementa. Encontramos que la dureza foliar al finalizar las lluvias y durante la época seca, fue la defensa más efectiva para la herbivoría.
