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.

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]
, 2011 The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

Climate Change Ecology, 2021 Because short growing seasons severely constrain plant growth and biomass accumulation in high elevation habitats, herbivory can profoundly impact both individual fitness and community dynamics in these settings.

Impacts of belowground herbivory on oviposition decisions in two congeneric butterfly species [PDF]
, 2010 Root-feeding insects can affect the performance of aboveground insect herbivores when they are forced to feed on the same host plant. Here we explored whether the oviposition behaviour of two closely related herbivorous species (cabbage butterflies ...

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).

Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry leaves following mammalian herbivory. [PDF]
, 2020 Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) leaves, growing at low, intermediate and high soil productivity levels, as a function of previous mammalian herbivory in 2014, under conditions of (a) low, (b) intermediate and (c) high shade ...

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.

The importance of sampling standardization for comparisons of insect herbivory in deep time: a case study from the late Palaeozoic [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Sampling standardization has not been fully addressed for the study of insect herbivory in the fossil record. The effects of sampling within a single locality were explored almost a decade ago, but the importance of sampling standardization for ...

Insight into the genetic components of community genetics: QTL mapping of insect association in a fast-growing forest tree [PDF]
, 2013 Identifying genetic sequences underlying insect associations on forest trees will improve the understanding of community genetics on a broad scale. We tested for genomic regions associated with insects in hybrid poplar using quantitative trait loci (QTL)

Neighbouring tree effects on leaf herbivory: Insect specialisation matters more than host plant leaf traits [PDF]
, 2023 Insect herbivory plays a critical role in the regulation of plant populations and community structures. Although the strength of insect herbivory varies with neighbouring tree diversity and identity, it is not clear to what extent insect guilds and leaf ...
