DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8709
Abstract: Abstract Urbanization is an important driver of the diversity and abundance of tree‐associated insect herbivores, but its consequences for insect herbivory are poorly understood. A likely source of variability among studies is the insufficient consideration… read more here.
