DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.11.014
Abstract: Abstract Tree diversity has long been recognized as a major driver of insect herbivory in forest ecosystems. However, predicting the strength and direction of tree diversity effects in real-world situations has proven elusive. One likely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118555
Abstract: Abstract Tree diversity has long been described as a major driver of insect herbivory and pathogen damage, which can cause defoliation and sometimes stunted growth of forest trees. However, as few studies have simultaneously considered… read more here.

Tree diversity increases levels of herbivore damage in a subtropical forest canopy: evidence for dietary mixing by arthropods?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal Of Plant Ecology"
DOI: 10.1093/jpe/rtw038
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.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpw132
Abstract: An assemblage of tree species with different crown properties creates heterogeneous environments at the canopy level. Changes of functional leaf traits are expected, especially those related to light interception and photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.13700
Abstract: Associational resistance theory predicts that insect herbivory decreases with increasing tree diversity in forest ecosystems. However, the generality of this effect and its underlying mechanisms are still debated, particularly since evidence has accumulated that climate… read more here.
