Herbivore regulation is one of the services provided by plant diversity in terrestrial
ecosystems. It has been suggested that tree diversity decreases insect herbivory in forests …

Ants are diverse and ecologically important organisms in tropical forests, where their
spatiotemporal distribution can be highly complex. This complexity arises mainly from …

Species diversity of arboreal arthropods tends to increase during rainforest succession so
that primary forest communities comprise more species than those from secondary …

This chapter reviews the known ecological associations between lianas and arboreal
arthropods in tropical forests. It summarizes ongoing work focusing specifically on the …

The physical characteristics of habitats shape local community structure; a classic example
is the positive relationship between the size of insular habitats and species richness …

Declining plant diversity alters ecological networks, such as plant–herbivore interactions.
However, our knowledge of the potential mechanisms underlying effects of plant species …

Despite the importance and increasing knowledge of ecological networks, sampling effort
and intrapopulation variation has been widely overlooked. Using continuous daily sampling …

A major goal of community ecology is to identify the patterns of species associations and the
processes that shape them. Arboreal ants are extremely diverse and abundant, making them …

This study aimed to compare canopy herbivore diversity and resultant insect damage to
vegetation in two distinct and adjacent ecosystems, specifically a dry forest ecosystem and a …

We conducted a study of natural variation in functional leaf traits and herbivory in 116 clones
of European aspen, Populus tremula L., the Swedish Aspen (SwAsp) collection, originating …
