Heavy livestock grazing promotes locust outbreaks by lowering plant nitrogen content
Current paradigms generally assume that increased plant nitrogen (N) should enhance
herbivore performance by relieving protein limitation, increasing herbivorous insect …

Not just the usual suspects: insect herbivore populations and communities are associated with multiple plant nutrients
The relationship between plant nutrient content and insect herbivore populations and
community structure has long interested ecologists. Insect herbivores require multiple …

Which leaf mechanical traits correlate with insect herbivory among feeding guilds?
E Caldwell, J Read, GD Sanson - Annals of botany, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Abstract Background and Aims There is abundant evidence that leaf mechanical traits deter
feeding by insect herbivores, but little is known about which particular traits contribute to …

Correlations between physical and chemical defences in plants: tradeoffs, syndromes, or just many different ways to skin a herbivorous cat?
Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of
how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak. Many authors argue …

Effects of protein and carbohydrate on an insect herbivore: the vista from a fitness landscape
Protein and carbohydrates are important nutrients driving the growth of herbivores; however,
their content in plants is highly variable. Multiple studies have explored their effect on …
