Livestock shifts lepidopteran herbivore community due to intraguild elimination in Mediterranean agroforestry systems. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Livestock grazing and trampling have been shown to reduce arthropod populations. Among arthropods, defoliating lepidopterans are particularly important for their impact on trees, the keystone structures of agroforestry systems. This study investigates the impact of livestock on the community of defoliating lepidopterans in agroforestry systems.
