Ferns and lycophytes are the second and third largest lineages of vascular plants, yet our
understanding of their interactions with phytophagous insects is very limited. In this study …

This article explores the conflicts between people and Atta leafcutter ants over the meaning
of anthropogenic deforestation in nineteenth-century Brazil. As human agricultural …

Ferns are a model plant group for comparing insect herbivory between modern and deep
time assemblages. We assessed fern–arthropod interactions in a modern marsh to reveal …

Vascular plants exhibit defense syndromes, a variety of interdependent defensive traits
against herbivores, which may considerably differ between plant groups. Although ferns are …

Ferns were among the first broadleaved plants in the fossil record. We assessed fern-
arthropod interactions in modern ferns (Monilophyta) as a model for comparison with …

Questions Leaf traits play an important role in the epiphyll colonization of leaves. Although
ferns are common in forest understories, they have been widely ignored as possible host …

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 …

This work contains the results of fern–arthropod interactions from a midland Atlantic
Rainforest locality and addresses the taphonomic, morphological and ecological …

Acrostichum danaeifolium, a Neotropical fern, occurs preferentially in marshy areas or at the
margins of lakes and mangroves. Microlepidoptera larvae burrow through the petioles of the …

We revised the literature on ant records in the Pernambuco Endemism Center–the
Biogeographical Sub-Region Pernambuco in the Atlantic Forest–to synthesize the …
