Forests are vital to the world's ecological, social, cultural and economic well‐being yet
sustainable provision of goods and services from forests is increasingly challenged by …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) have many ecological roles such as influencing
decomposition, flammability and herbivory. PSM concentrations are genetically determined …

Silvopastoral systems, consisting of the combined management of pastures, woody
perennials and animals, are increasingly adopted throughout the world, especially in the …

Abstract Background and Aims Both environmental and genetic effects contribute to
phenotypic variation within and among populations. Genetic differentiation of quantitative …

Research on use of foraging patches has focused on why herbivores visit or quit patches,
yet little is known about visits to patches over time. Food quality, as reflected by higher …

Food quality is an important consideration in the foraging strategy of all animals, including
herbivores. Those that can detect and assess the nutritional value of plants from afar, using …

We undertook a study to test the hypothesis that fertiliser application would moderate the
effects of insect herbivory on stem growth of plantation-grown Eucalyptus globulus Labill …

Damage by the pine weevil Hylobius abietis L.(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Pinus
pinaster Ait. was evaluated in a fertilization× progeny test in Galicia (NW Spain) to determine …

Understanding among and within population genetic variation of ecologically important plant
traits provides insight into the potential evolutionary processes affecting those traits. The …
