Plant compensation for arthropod damage is a general occurrence of considerable
importance in both natural and agricultural systems. In natural systems, plant species that …

I've been thinking a lot lately about death and decomposition. I don't know if it's the onset of a
mid-life crisis or waiting for the academic'deadwood'in my own institution to be recycled into …

Increased nitrogen (N) mobilization and export from terrestrial forest ecosystems following
canopy herbivory have been well documented, though the mechanism behind the loss is not …

Insects represent a dominant component of biodiversity in most terrestrial ecosystems yet
they have largely been neglected in studies on the role of biodiversity in nutrient cycling, or …

The population densities of the gypsy moth (L ymantria dispar; Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)
may reach outbreak levels that pose considerable economic and environmental impacts to …

Forage nitrogen concentrations, nitrogen yields, and in vitro digestibilities were assessed in
shortgrass steppe that had been ungrazed, lightly, or heavily grazed for 50 years. Caged …

Defoliation‐induced changes in plant foliage are ubiquitous, though factors mediating
induction and the extent of their influence on ecosystem processes such as leaf litter …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) fixation by Alnus tenuifolia can account for up to 70% of the N
accumulated during vegetation development along river floodplains in interior Alaska. We …

Animal ecology could benefit from a well‐defined trait‐based framework, mostly applied in
plant ecology, to further develop predictions of animal communities under various …
