Global Insect Herbivory and its Response to Climate Change

Current Biology
Herbivorous insects consume a large proportion of the energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems and play a major role in the dynamics of plant populations and communities. However, high-resolution, quantitative predictions of the global patterns of insect herbivory and their potential underlying drivers remain elusive.

Insect herbivory fluctuations through geological time

Ecology, 2016
AbstractArthropods and land plants are the major macroscopic sources of biodiversity on the planet. Knowledge of the organization and specialization of plant–herbivore interactions, such as their roles in food webs is important for understanding the processes for maintaining biodiversity.

Insect herbivory in Gondwana plants

Journal of Palaeosciences, 2016
Plant–insect interaction is dominant in the extant flora and it is estimated that more than one million species of insects directly or indirectly survive on plants. In comparison, such association is limited in extinct flora, mainly due to problem in identifying structural features associated with the insect wronged plant fossils. Concerted efforts and

Insect herbivory in ecosystems

1982
Whole ecosystem studies are complex and time consuming and it is not feasible to study every organism. Ecologists have usually concentrated on the apparently dominant groups of insect herbivores feeding on the dominant plant species. Often whole insect groups, particularly the sapsucking fauna, have been ignored.

Insect adaptations to herbivory

1982
Before feeding or oviposition any herbivorous insect is faced with the problem of locating its host plant both in space and time. It must be able to select its particular food plant(s) from amongst the complex array of available species and it must ensure that its period of feeding activity coincides with periods of plant availability.

Effects of tree diversity on insect herbivory

Journal of Forestry Research, 2021
Tree diversity has long been considered a key driver of insect herbivory in forest ecosystems. However, studies have given contradictory results: increased tree diversity can have positive, negative or neutral effects on insect herbivory. Since many issues can complicate the tree-herbivore interactions, the descriptor ‘tree diversity’ per se actually ...
