Insect herbivory on urban trees: Complementary effects of tree neighbours and predation
Peer Community Journal, 2022 Insect herbivory is an important component of forest ecosystems functioning and can affect tree growth and survival. Tree diversity is known to influence insect herbivory in natural forest, with most studies reporting a decrease in herbivory with ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Plants rely on the perception of a multitude of herbivory-associated cues (HACs) to activate their defense response to insect herbivores. These stimuli are mainly derived from three functional components, namely, mechanical damage, insect-associated ...

Disentangling the effects of jasmonate and tissue loss on the sex allocation of an annual plant
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Selection through pollinators plays a major role in the evolution of reproductive traits. However, herbivory can also induce changes in plant sexual expression and sexual systems, potentially influencing conditions governing transitions between sexual ...

Episodic herbivory, plant density dependence, and stimulation of aboveground plant production
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Herbivory is a major energy transfer within ecosystems; an open question is under what circumstances it can stimulate aboveground seasonal primary production. Despite multiple field demonstrations, past theory considered herbivory as a continuous process

Insect and plant traits drive local and landscape effects on herbivory in grassland fragments
Ecosphere, 2019 Herbivory is one of the most important antagonistic insect–plant interactions and can be influenced by factors at local and landscape scales. Landscape fragmentation may reduce herbivory directly (i.e., decreasing abundance and species richness of ...

Herbivory in the marine realm [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Herbivory occurs when animals consume plants; but the term hides two fundamentally different processes. One relates to the animal's nutrition, the other to the plant's survival and abundance. Both are central to the ecological process called herbivory.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Climate change can affect biotic interactions, and the impacts of climate on biotic interactions may vary across climate gradients. Climate affects biotic interactions through multiple drivers, although few studies have investigated multiple climate ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Current theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions, particularly herbivory, decreases with increasing latitude and elevation. However, recent studies have revealed substantial variation in both the latitudinal and elevational patterns of ...

Effects of pyric herbivory on prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus spp) habitat.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The reduction and simplification of grasslands has led to the decline of numerous species of grassland fauna, particularly grassland-obligate birds.
