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/ece3.2950
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.

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

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/ece3.8956
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/ecy.2910
Abstract: Environmental stress impedes predation and herbivory by limiting the ability of animals to search for and consume prey. We tested the contingency of this relationship on consumer traits, and specifically hypothesized that herbivore mobility relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3762
Abstract: Species richness in tropical forests is correlated with other dimensions of diversity, including the diversity of plant-herbivore interactions and the phytochemical diversity that influences those interactions. Understanding the complexity of plant chemistry and the importance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3831
Abstract: Abstract The outcomes of species interactions can vary greatly in time and space with the outcomes of some interactions determined by priority effects. On coral reefs, benthic algae rapidly colonize disturbed substrate. In the absence… read more here.
