Beneficial insect communities on farms are influenced by site-and landscape-level factors,
with pollinator and natural enemy populations often associated with semi-natural habitat …

Invertebrate herbivory is a crucial process contributing to the cycling of nutrients and energy
in terrestrial ecosystems. While the function of herbivory can decrease with land‐use …

When a plant is introduced to a new ecosystem it may escape from some of its coevolved
herbivores. Reduced herbivore damage, and the ability of introduced plants to allocate …

The structure of the community of insect herbivores in a plant can be determined by plant
traits and also by interactions with consumers. We studied the herbivores associated with …

Livestock grazing is widespread and increasing in the African grasslands, with largely
unknown consequences for bee pollinators. Here we assessed the direct and indirect …

One of the major impacts of climate change is increasing global temperatures. Because
warming is expected to affect plant morphological and chemical traits, it may therefore also …

Uncertainty still exists on the directions and intensity of changes in leaf herbivory under
scenarios of global warming. We, therefore, conducted an investigation on insect herbivory …

Host plant selection by herbivores is driven by a complex array of cues, including leaf traits
and previous leaf damage. Herbivore‐associated cues to host selection at the plant and leaf …

Patterns of insect diversity along elevational gradients are well described in ecology.
However, it remains little tested how variation in the quantity, quality, and diversity of food …

Naturally, insect herbivore populations are controlled by their plant hosts and predators.
These 'bottom-up'and 'top-down'controls influence leaf area lost to herbivory. Bottom-up …
