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.

Scientific Reports, 2021 The hypothesis of the present study is that not only distributions of leaf photosynthetic traits and shoot growth along light gradient within a canopy of forest trees, but also that of leaf anti-herbivory defence capacities are influenced by soil ...

Beyond EICA : understanding post-establishment evolution requires a broader evaluation of potential selection pressures [PDF]
, 2011 Research on post-establishment evolution in nonnative plant populations has focused almost exclusively on testing the Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA) hypothesis, which posits that the lack of specialized herbivores in the invaded range ...

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.

Insect herbivory increases from forest to alpine tundra in Arctic mountains
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Current theory holds that the intensity of biotic interactions decreases with increases in latitude and elevation; however, empirical data demonstrate great variation in the direction, strength, and shape of elevational changes in herbivory.

Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]
, 2009 The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

Slug grazing effects on seedling and adult life stages of North American Prairie plants used in designed urban landscapes [PDF]
, 2011 Designed vegetation is a major contributor to ecosystem service provision incities, and as such the study of how herbivory and other ecological factors determine its capacity to deliver such services, is long overdue.

Snapshot of macroalgae and fish assemblages in temperate reefs in the Southern European Atlantic Ecoregion [PDF]
, 2020 Most of the biodiversity studies in the South European Atlantic Shelf ecoregion are limited to shallow subtidal or intertidal habitats, while deeper reef habitats, also of relevant ecological importance, are particularly understudied.

Coastal urbanization-related stressors affect fish herbivory in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia
Frontiers in Marine ScienceCoastal urbanization has significantly degraded coral reef habitats worldwide, often driving shifts from coral to algal dominance. Quantifying fish herbivory, a key ecological process mitigating such transitions, is essential for understanding reef ...

CO2 and nutrient-driven changes across multiple levels of organization in zostera noltii ecosystems [PDF]
, 2014 Increasing evidence emphasizes that the effects of human impacts on ecosystems must be investigated using designs that incorporate the responses across levels of biological organization as well as the effects of multiple stressors.
