Plant size, latitude, and phylogeny explain within-population variability in herbivory
Herbivory Variability Network*†, ML Robinson… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their
strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence …

The great escape: Patterns of enemy release are not explained by time, space or climate
When a plant is introduced to a new ecosystem it may escape from some of its coevolved
herbivores. Reduced herbivore damage, and the ability of introduced plants to allocate …

Canopy height, rather than neighborhood effects, shapes leaf herbivory in a tropical rainforest
Factors shaping the interspecific variations in herbivory have puzzled ecologists for decades
and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain interspecific variation in leaf …

Introduced species shed friends as well as enemies
Many studies seeking to understand the success of biological invasions focus on species'
escape from negative interactions, such as damage from herbivores, pathogens, or …

Release from aboveground enemies increases seedling survival in grasslands
Plant enemies can influence plant community assembly and structure. However, it is unclear
how insect herbivores and fungal pathogens affect seedling recruitment. Complex …

Deep learning‐and image processing‐based methods for automatic estimation of leaf herbivore damage
Quantifying the intensity of leaf herbivory pressure is crucial for understanding the
interaction between plants and herbivores in both applied and basic science. Visual …

Habitat permeability drives community metrics, functional traits, and herbivory in neotropical spontaneous urban flora
WK da Silva, ACL de Matos, RD Zenni - Flora, 2024 - Elsevier
Urbanization is among the main drivers of global biodiversity changes. Urban areas are
increasing faster, particularly in global biodiversity hotspots. Therefore, more evidence is …
