Summary 1 Related plant species with different spatial and/or temporal life‐history
characteristics often possess differences in secondary chemistry and thus direct defensive …

Leaves are most vulnerable to herbivory during expansion. We hypothesised that one factor
favouring small leaves could be that smaller‐leaved species have shorter expansion times …

Aim Insect assemblages associated with lianas in tropical forests are poorly studied
compared with those associated with trees. The importance of lianas for the maintenance of …

Avoiding the conversion of tropical production forests to non-forest land uses is a forestry
and conservation priority, and is contingent on successful regeneration of commercially …

Due to clear variations in a relatively small area, mountains represent natural laboratories
for evolutionary and ecological studies. In a large degree, these variations are driven by …

" The management of tropical forest ecosystems is essential to the health of the planet. This
book addresses forest insect pest problems across the world's tropics, addressing the pests' …

In tropical forests, herbivorous arthropods remove between 7% up to 48% of leaf area, which
has forced plants to evolve defense strategies. These strategies influence the palatability of …

This book gives a broad review of insect pests of natural and plantation forests in the tropics.
An overview of tropical forestry from an entomological perspective is given in the 1st chapter …

Insects make up the bulk of terrestrial diversity and about half of insect species are
herbivores that have direct relationships with their host plants and are the basis of the entire …

This study determined the temporal patterns of herbivory on Handroanthus ochraceus
(Cham.) Mattos (Bignoniaceae) along a successional gradient in a seasonally dry tropical …
