Predictive theory on how plant diversity promotes herbivore suppression through movement
patterns, host associations, and predation promises a potential alternative to pesticide …

Understanding the ecological consequences of biodiversity is a fundamental challenge.
Research on a key component of biodiversity, genetic diversity, has traditionally focused on …

Arthropod herbivores cause substantial economic costs that drive an increasing need to
develop environmentally sustainable approaches to herbivore control. Increasing plant …

Most ecologists are not card-carrying members of either individualistic or interdependent
guilds, but our perception of plant community organization, and the way we conduct …

Specific plant associations may decrease (associational resistance, AR) or increase
(associational susceptibility, AS) the likelihood of detection by, and/or vulnerability to …

We present a quantitative synthesis of trophic cascades in terrestrial systems using data
from 41 studies, reporting 60 independent tests. The studies covered a wide range of taxa in …

Agriculture comprises the largest global land use, makes it a leading cause of habitat loss. It
is therefore critical to identify how to best construct agricultural systems that can …

In modern crop production, each plant is often nearly genetically identical to its neighbours,
allowing insect pests and pathogens to move easily from plant to plant and decimate crop …

Herbivore regulation is one of the services provided by plant diversity in terrestrial
ecosystems. It has been suggested that tree diversity decreases insect herbivory in forests …

Outcrossing in plants is influenced by the availability of pollinators and compatible mates,
both of which may be modified by the population and community context in which plant …
