Host‐plant sex and phenology of Buddleja cordata Kunth interact to influence arthropod communities [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIntraspecific variation in plants is expected to have profound impacts on the arthropod communities associated with them. Because sexual dimorphism in plants is expected to provide consistent variation among individuals of the same species, researchers ...

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences. [PDF]
J Anim EcolThis study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Physiological responses of cereals of agronomic interest to arthropod herbivory stress
Plant Stress, 2023 Cereals, such as rice, wheat, corn, and sorghum, are important staples for billions of people worldwide. Biotic stress caused by pest arthropod herbivory is one of the main factors that reduces crop production and yield. Worldwide, cereal crop losses due

Evolution of terrestrial herbivory: nutrient stoichiometry, body size, and dietary diversity
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Direct fossil preservation of leaf damage, arthropod mouthparts, and vertebrate teeth has understandably led to a focus on oral processing of plant material when considering the evolution of herbivory in deep time.

Differential responses of herbivores and herbivory to management in temperate European beech.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Forest management not only affects biodiversity but also might alter ecosystem processes mediated by the organisms, i.e. herbivory the removal of plant biomass by plant-eating insects and other arthropod groups.
