Aboveground insect herbivory increases plant competitive asymmetry, while belowground herbivory mitigates the effect [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Insect herbivores can shift the composition of a plant community, but the mechanism underlying such shifts remains largely unexplored. A possibility is that insects alter the competitive symmetry between plant species.

Ethylene: A Modulator of the Phytohormone-Mediated Insect Herbivory Network in Plants
InsectsPlants have evolved to establish insect herbivory defences by modulating their metabolism, growth, and development. Precise networks of phytohormones are essential to induce those herbivory defences.

The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L
NeoBiota, 2013 A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these

Plant size, latitude, and phylogeny explain within-population variability in herbivory
, 2023 Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence most aspects of plant-herbivore biology, from ecological stability to ...

A latitudinal gradient in herbivore resistance in common sunflower, Helianthus annuus (Asteraceae) [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Background and aims – The intensity of herbivory is expected to decline with increasing latitude. As herbivory varies spatially and over time, a reliable method of assessing the intensity of herbivory is to examine the degree of herbivore resistance in ...

Weak latitudinal gradients in insect herbivory for dominant rangeland grasses of North America
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g., precipitation and soil ...
