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

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.

Prey and Non-prey Arthropods Sharing a Host Plant: Effects on Induced Volatile Emission and Predator Attraction [PDF]

, 2008
It is well established that plants infested with a single herbivore species can attract specific natural enemies through the emission of herbivore-induced volatiles.

Effects of experimental watering but not warming on herbivory vary across a gradient of precipitation

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 ...

Elevational changes in insect herbivory on woody plants in six mountain ranges of temperate Eurasia: Sources of variation

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 experimental warming at the microhabitat scale on oak leaf traits and insect herbivory across a contrasting environmental gradient [PDF]

, 2023
10 páginas, 3 figuras, 2 tablasForest microclimatic variation can result in substantial temperature differences at local scales with concomitant impacts on plant defences and herbivory.

Plant Functional Traits Better Explain the Global Latitudinal Patterns of Leaf Insect Herbivory than Climatic Factors

Plants
Herbivory reflects the interaction between plants and insects in ecosystems, and its latitudinal patterns at the global scale have attracted widespread attention.

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.

Root herbivory reduces species richness and alters community structure of root-colonising arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

, 2022
Belowground insect herbivory is an important interaction that can shape ecological communities above- and belowground. A key component of belowground ecosystems are the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that associate with roots of most terrestrial ...
