Abstract: Abstract Plant–herbivore interaction networks provide information about community organization. Two methods are currently used to document pairwise interactions among plants and insect herbivores. One is the traditional method that collects plant–herbivore interaction data by field… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04740-7
Abstract: Recent studies suggest that the assembly of trophic interaction networks is the result of both niche (deterministic and selective) and neutral (stochastic) processes, but we know little about their relative importance. Succession following disturbance offers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3417-7
Abstract: Natural enemies are known to modify competitive hierarchies among terrestrial plants. Here we examine whether the same applies to freshwater systems. Lagarosiphon major (Hydrocharitaceae) is a submerged aquatic macrophyte, indigenous to South Africa. Outside its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac481
Abstract: Water is essential to plant growth and drives plant evolution and interactions with other organisms, such as herbivores. However, water availability fluctuates, and these fluctuations are intensified by climate change. How plant water availability influences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14014
Abstract: Ecological gradients are expected to be associated with structural rewiring of species interaction networks. The study of network structures along geographic and ecological gradients, however, remains marginal because documenting species interactions at multiple sites is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16545
Abstract: Understanding the ecological rules structuring the organization of species interactions is a prerequisite to predicting how ecosystems respond to environmental changes. While the ecological determinants of single networks have been documented, it remains unclear whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects11120865
Abstract: Simple Summary Our aim was to determine the effects of a free-living leaf-chewing generalist caterpillar on leaf damage of several different closely related plant species. Herbivore performance and leaf damage were affected by similar plant… read more here.
