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 ...

Differential responses of herbivores and herbivory to management in temperate European beech. [PDF]
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.

Grasses and the resource availability hypothesis: the importance of silica-based defences [PDF]
, 2007 The resource availability hypothesis (RAH) predicts that allocation of resources to anti-herbivore defences differs between species according to their growth rate.

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 ...

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

The effect of temperature, soil nitrogen and gastropods on _Thuja plicata_ growth and reproduction [PDF]
, 2010 Humans are changing the environment. For example, nitrogen deposition, rising temperatures, and non-native species are influencing plant communities. These changes have and will continue to affect trees, thus, understanding the response of species to ...

Effects of Light and Nutrients on Tomato Plant Compensation for Herbivory by \u3ci\u3eManduca Sexta\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) [PDF]
, 2017 This preliminary study examined how two resources (light and nutrients) influence the ability of tomato plants to show growth compensation for defoliation by the tobacco homworm (Manduca sexta).

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 ...
