Abstract
RUBINO, D. L. AND B. C. MCCARTHY (Department of Environmental and Plant Biology, Ohio University, Athens, OH 45701). Presence of aposematic (warning) coloration in vascular plants of southeastern Ohio. J. Torrey Bot. Soc. 131: 252-256. 2004.-Aposematic coloration, use of conspicuous colors to advertise unpleasant qualities to potential predators, is well documented in the animal kingdom. However, similar use of warning coloration in plants to advertise physical armaments (spines, thorns, or prickles) has been, until recently, unreported. A preliminary survey of physically armed plants in southeastern Ohio (USA) revealed a high incidence of aposematic coloration-the presence of physical armaments colored differently than the structure on which they are borne. Furthermore, aposematic coloration was found in a wide variety of taxonomically diverse vascular plants. Future research into the possible role of aposematic coloration in vascular plants could greatly expand our knowledge of plant/herbivore interactions.
RUBINO, D. L. AND B. C. MCCARTHY(美国俄亥俄大学环境与植物生物学系，俄亥俄州雅典45701)。俄亥俄州东南部维管植物中出现警示(警告)色。托里·博特。社会科学，131:252-256。2004.警示性着色，即使用显眼的颜色向潜在的捕食者宣传不愉快的品质，在动物界有很好的记录。然而，在植物中使用类似的警告色来宣传物理武器(刺、刺或刺)，直到最近才有报道。一项对美国俄亥俄州东南部武装植物的初步调查显示，警示性着色的发生率很高——武装植物的颜色与它们所处的结构不同。此外，在各种不同的维管植物中发现了警示性着色。未来对维管植物中警示色的可能作用的研究可以极大地扩展我们对植物/草食相互作用的认识。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society (until 1997 the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club), the oldest botanical journal in the Americas, has as its primary goal the dissemination of scientific knowledge about plants (including thallopyhtes and fungi). It publishes basic research in all areas of plant biology, except horticulture, with an emphasis on research done in, and about plants of, the Western Hemisphere.
