Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected
by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted a literature
search, which yielded 141 studies on this topic of which 24 simultaneously investigated
plant and arthropod diversity. Using the data from these 24 studies, we compared the
responses of plant and arthropod diversity to an increase in grazing intensity. This …
