Background insect herbivory: impacts, patterns and methodology

MV Kozlov, EL Zvereva - Progress in Botany Vol. 79, 2018 - Springer
Plants provide humans with oxygen, food, fibre and fuel, but their effectiveness in performing
these roles is affected by herbivores. Historically, studies on insect herbivory have primarily …

Elevated carbon dioxide and warming impact silicon and phenolic‐based defences differently in native and exotic grasses

SN Johnson, SE Hartley - Global Change Biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Global climate change may increase invasions of exotic plant species by directly promoting
the success of invasive/exotic species or by reducing the competitive abilities of native …

Interactive effects of multiple climate change variables on trophic interactions: a meta-analysis

AE Rosenblatt, OJ Schmitz - Climate Change Responses, 2014 - Springer
Background Climate change is expected to simultaneously alter many of the abiotic qualities
of ecosystems as well as biotic interactions, especially trophic interactions. However …

Effects of diet and temperature on monarch butterfly wing morphology and flight ability

AJ Soule, LE Decker, MD Hunter - Journal of Insect Conservation, 2020 - Springer

Magnitude and mechanisms of nitrogen‐mediated responses of tree biomass production to elevated CO2: A global synthesis

Z Wang, C Wang - Journal of Ecology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (eCO2) typically stimulates tree growth, which is
mediated by nitrogen (N) availability; but how N regulates tree biomass responses to eCO2 …
