Abstract: Aims Plant diversity has been linked to both increasing and decreasing levels of arthropod herbivore damage in different plant communities. So far, these links have mainly been studied in grasslands or in artificial tree plantations… read more here.

Abstract: Exotic plants do not always escape enemies in new areas; instead, they may be damaged by co-invading non-native enemies or by enemies recruited from native species. However, even when such enemies exist in an invader’s… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00135
Abstract: Abstract Climate change models predict increased forest fire occurrence and severity in the near future. Forest fire disturbance affects multiple ecological interactions, but there is little evidence for how naturally-occurring fires affect plant quality and… read more here.
