For foraging herbivores, both food quality and predation risk vary across the landscape.
Animals should avoid low-quality food patches in favour of high-quality ones, and seek safe …

Recent community genetics studies have shown that specific genotypes of a host plant
support distinct arthropod communities. Building upon these findings, we examined the …

Knowledge of the manner in which genetic variation within a tree species affects associated
communities and ecosystem processes across its entire range is important for …

Plant secondary metabolites can constrain the diet of vertebrates and these effects can flow
through to community dynamics. Recent studies have moved beyond attempting to correlate …
