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

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.

Influence of light availability and soil productivity on insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaves following mammalian herbivory.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Vegetative parts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) are important forage for many boreal forest mammal, bird and insect species. Plant palatability to insects is affected by concentration of nutrients and defense compounds in plants.

Effects of landscape context on herbivory and parasitism at different spatial scales [PDF]

, 2003
Local community structure and interactions have been shown to depend partly on landscape context. In this paper we tested the hypothesis that the spatial scale experienced by an organism depends on its trophic level.

The 'Herbivory Uncertainty Principle': application in a cerrado site

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Researchers may alter the ecology of their studied organisms, even carrying out apparently beneficial activities, as in herbivory studies, when they may alter herbivory damage.

Local adaptation of aboveground herbivores towards plant phenotypes induced by soil biota [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Soil biota may trigger strong physiological responses in plants and consequently induce distinct phenotypes. Plant phenotype, in turn, has a strong impact on herbivore performance.

What is a hologenomic adaptation? Emergent individuality and inter-identity in multispecies systems [PDF]

, 2020
Contemporary biological research has suggested that some host–microbiome multispecies systems (referred to as “holobionts”) can in certain circumstances evolve as unique biological individual, thus being a unit of selection in evolution.

The Herbivory Uncertainty Principle: Visiting Plants Can Alter Herbivory

Ecology, 2001
In 1927, Werner Heisenberg proposed that there are fundamental limitations to the study of subatomic particles, as the act of measuring them affects their behavior. Here we show that experimenter-induced uncertainty also applies in plant ecology, with potentially dramatic consequences for field biologists.

Discrete and continuous character-based disparity analyses converge to the same macroevolutionary signa. A case study from captorhinids [PDF]

, 2017
The relationship between diversity and disparity during the evolutionary history of a clade provides unique insights into evolutionary radiations and the biological response to bottlenecks and to extinctions.

Role of Leaf Traits in Driving Genotypic Diversity‐Mediated Associational Effects in Silver Birch

Ecology and Evolution
Trees growing in more diverse stands generally experience less herbivory than those in less diverse ones, potentially due to neighbourhood‐mediated variations in traits which influence leaf palatability.

Rapid systemic responses to herbivory

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2022
Rapid systemic signals travel within the first seconds and minutes after herbivore infestation to mount defense responses in distal tissues. Recent studies have revealed that wound-induced hydraulic pressure changes play an important role in systemic electrical signaling and subsequent calcium and reactive oxygen species waves. These insights raise new
