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 ...

Resistance and susceptibility of milkweed: competition, root herbivory, and plant genetic variation [PDF]
, 2004 Beetles in the genus Tetraopes share a long evolutionary history with milkweeds (Asclepias spp.), feeding on roots as larvae and leaves as adults. Despite their extreme specialization on milkweed, Tetraopes require drying grass stems as oviposition sites,

Transgenerational Consequences of Plant Responses to Herbivory: An Adaptive Maternal Effect [PDF]
, 2000 Herbivory has many effects on plants, ranging from shifts in primary processes such as photosynthesis, growth, and phenology to effects on defense against subsequent herbivores and other species interactions.

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.

Love thy neighbor? Reciprocal impacts between plant community structure and insect herbivory in co-occurring Asteraceae [PDF]
, 2014 Patterns of herbivory may vary with fine?scale plant community structure: the degree of damage plants experience may depend on their neighbors (i.e., associational resistance or susceptibility).

, 2021 Most terrestrial plants form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which are soil-dwelling microbial symbionts that provide plants with soil nutrients, while plants supply the fungi with carbon.

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 ...
