recommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10123

Abstract: Abstract Plants produce diverse chemical defenses with contrasting effects on different insect herbivores. Deploying herbivore‐specific responses can help plants increase their defensive efficiency. Here, we explore how variation in induced plant responses correlates with herbivore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10912

Abstract: Abstract Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are produced by plants to overcome environmental challenges, both biotic and abiotic. We were interested in characterizing how autumn seasonality in temperate and subtropical climates affects overall PSM production in… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2950

Abstract: Abstract The diversity of plant neighbors commonly results in direct, bottom‐up effects on herbivore ability to locate their host, and in indirect effects on herbivores involving changes in plant traits and a top‐down control by… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3397

Abstract: Abstract Studies of species' range limits focus most often on abiotic factors, although the strength of biotic interactions might also vary along environmental gradients and have strong demographic effects. For example, pollinator abundance might decrease… read more here.

Weak latitudinal gradients in insect herbivory for dominant rangeland grasses of North America

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6374

Abstract: Abstract Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g., precipitation and soil nutrients)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70613

Abstract: ABSTRACT Studies have reported the important role of soil properties in regulating insect herbivory under controlled conditions or at relatively large scales. However, whether fine‐scale variation of soil properties affects insect herbivory under natural conditions… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71768

Abstract: ABSTRACT Trees growing in more diverse stands generally experience less herbivory than those in less diverse ones, potentially due to neighbourhood‐mediated variations in traits which influence leaf palatability. While numerous studies have assessed leaf trait… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8956

Abstract: Abstract Ecosystem engineers that modify the soil and ground‐layer properties exert a strong influence on vegetation communities in ecosystems worldwide. Understanding the interactions between animal engineers and vegetation is challenging when in the presence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4748

Abstract: A major proportion of primary production is lost to insect herbivory. Leaf functional traits representing defense costs and palatability explain the intensity of herbivory at local scales. However, whether leaf traits explain herbivory at large… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4756

Abstract: Macropods exhibit selective herbivory on plant traits within and between species and hence can alter plant trait variation. In this study, we asked what are the effects of macropod herbivory on intraspecific variation in plant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4764

Abstract: Herbivorous insects and their host plants comprise most known species on Earth. Illuminating how herbivory repeatedly evolved in insects from non-herbivorous lineages is critical to understanding how this biodiversity is created and maintained. We characterized… read more here.
