Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...

Habitat fragmentation can alter fundamental ecological interactions such as insect herbivory. Few studies of habitat fragmentation effects on herbivory have examined the mechanisms involved, and differences among insect ...

Herbivory is a common process in salt marshes. However, the direct impact of marsh herbivory on nutrient cycling in this ecosystem is poorly understood. Using a 15N enrichment mesocosm study, we quantified nitrogen (N) ...

Loss and fragmentation of natural habitats can lead to alterations of plant-animal interactions and ecosystems functioning. Insect herbivory, an important antagonistic interaction is expected to be influenced by habitat ...

Studies of herbivory and its consequences on the growth of native and exotic plants could help elucidate some processes involved in plant invasions. Introduced species are likely to experience reduced herbivory in their ...

Grasshopper herbivory can vary substantially among locations within a salt marsh or among marshes, but its variability along the marsh intertidal gradient (extending from the shoreline to the upland fringing forest) is not ...

Herbivory has been long considered an important component of plant-animal interactions that influences the success of invasive species in novel habitats. One of the most important hypotheses linking herbivory and invasion ...
