Feeding on Non-Prey Resources by Natural Enemies Moshe Coll Reports on the
consumption of non-prey food sources, particularly plant materials, by predators and …

Few data exist on the environmental risks of biological control. The weevil Rhinocyllus
conicus Froeh., introduced to control exotic thistles, has exhibited an increase in host range …

The consumption and preferences of polyphagous ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
for the seeds of herbaceous plants was determined. The seeds were stuck into plasticine in …

Four early life events (ie, hatching, the ontogenetic diet shift to piscivory, fall lipid
accumulation, and the first winter) are conceptualized as being critical to 1st‐yr recruitment …

The importance of herbivorous insects for plant demography and fitness is still controversial.
The fact that their effect has not be fully evaluated within the context of the complete plant life …

1. A field experiment was conducted to test whether control of seedling emergence by
ground cover and seed predation depended on seed size. Sown seeds of 12 old-field …

Tree invasion of old fields is an important process affecting landscape heterogeneity and
species diversity, as well as the quality of wildlife habitat, in eastern North America. We …

In this paper, an assessment of the relative importance of pre-and post-dispersal granivory
on seed-dispersal mutualisms and an investigation on how the characteristics of seed …

Invasive species have the potential to alter trade‐offs leading to selection in the populations
they invade. Here we quantify the demographic and selective effects of herbivory by native …

The Enemies Hypothesis predicts that alien plants have a competitive advantage over native
plants because they are often introduced with few herbivores or diseases. To investigate this …
