Plant traits affecting herbivory on tree recruits in highly diverse subtropical forests
Differences in herbivory among woody species can greatly affect the functioning of forest
ecosystems, particularly in species‐rich (sub) tropical regions. However, the relative …

Phylogenetic relatedness, functional traits, and spatial scale determine herbivore co‐occurrence in a subtropical forest
The mechanisms driving species co‐occurrence are varied and include biotic interactions,
abiotic factors, and scale‐dependent processes. Based on a comprehensive dataset of …

Erosion of a pollination mutualism along an environmental gradient in a south Andean treelet, Embothrium coccineum (Proteaceae)
The limit of a species' distribution can be determined biotically if an environmental gradient
causes the loss of critical mutualists such as pollinators. We assessed this hypothesis for …
