Florivory is an ancient interaction which has rarely been quantified due to a lack of
standardized protocols, thus impairing biogeographical and phylogenetic comparisons. We …

Aim Global‐scale studies are necessary to draw general conclusions on how trophic
interactions vary with urbanization and to explore how the effects of urbanization change …

Plant-herbivore interactions are among the most important factors shaping plant community
dynamics and ecosystem functioning. The latitudinal herbivory hypothesis proposed that …

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 …

Biodiversity losses have increased in tropical forests due to fire‐related disturbances. As
landscape fragmentation and climate change increase, fires will become more frequent and …

A major proportion of primary production is lost to insect herbivory. Leaf functional traits
representing defense costs and palatability explain the intensity of herbivory at local scales …

The levels of belowground herbivory in natural ecosystems remain practically undetermined,
and nothing is known regarding the geographic and/or climatic variations in belowground …

Studying plant–herbivore interactions within tropical rain forests is fundamental to
understanding their ecology and evolution. An important aspect of plant–herbivore dynamics …

Citizen science (CS) initiatives can transform how some ecological data are collected.
Herbivory is a fundamental ecological interaction, but herbivory rates in many natural …

Aim: Global-scale studies are necessary to draw general conclusions on how trophic
interactions vary with urbanization and to explore how the effects of urbanization change …
