Oikos, EarlyView.No‐analogue futures are characteristic of the Anthropocene, but how global change, and societies' responses, will affect plant invasions remains unclear. Conducting research now to address future needs is crucial for guiding invasion management and policy.

Diet specialization mediates drivers of Cucurbita herbivory in a semi-arid agroecosystem
Current Research in Insect ScienceHerbivory is a major fitness pressure for plants and a key driver of crop losses in agroecosystems. Dense monocultures are expected to favor specialist herbivorous insects, particularly those who primarily consume crop species; yet, levels and types of ...

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Leaf litter chemical traits were measured for Cycas micronesica plants in Guam following leaf herbivory by the scale Aulacaspis yasumatsui, the butterfly Chilades pandava caterpillar, or the leaf miner Erechthias sp. to determine the influence of the non-

Herbivory resistance and leaf nutritional quality of hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × petrowskyana) × petrowskyana exposed to salinity and Orgyia leucostigma [PDF]
When plants encounter salinity and herbivory simultaneously, these stress factors may interact synergistically or antagonistically due, among other things, to crosstalk between signaling pathways involved in the response to each factor.

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

Forb diversity globally is harmed by nutrient enrichment but can be rescued by large mammalian herbivory [PDF]
Forbs (“wildflowers”) are important contributors to grassland biodiversity but are vulnerable to environmental changes. In a factorial experiment at 94 sites on 6 continents, we test the global generality of several broad predictions: (1) Forb cover and ...

The effect of allometric partitioning on herbivory tolerance in four species in South China
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Herbivory tolerance can offset the negative effects of herbivory on plants and plays an important role in both immigration and population establishment. Biomass reallocation is an important potential mechanism of herbivory tolerance.

Oikos, EarlyView.Stressful climates threaten the performance of individuals and the survival of species, but individual performance also depends on biotic interactions with neighbours, so that ‘good' neighbours might in theory compensate for ‘bad' climates. However, what makes a good neighbour, and why, has been little studied.

Low-intensity insect herbivory could have large effects on ecosystem productivity through reduced canopy photosynthesis [PDF]
Web EcologyOur current understanding of the effect of insect herbivory on ecosystem productivity is limited. Previous studies have typically quantified only the amount of leaf area loss or have been conducted during outbreak years when levels of herbivory are much ...
