A review of the sentinel prey method as a way of quantifying invertebrate predation under field conditions
GL Lövei, M Ferrante - Insect Science, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Sentinel prey can provide a direct, quantitative measure of predation under field conditions.
Live sentinel prey provides more realistic data but rarely allows the partitioning of the total …

Insect herbivory in novel Quercus ilex L. forests: the role of landscape attributes, forest composition and host traits
Key message Insect herbivory in novel Quercus ilex L. forests is a highly context-and scale-
dependent process. We show that forest composition, tree height and fine-scale spatial …
