Correlations between physical and chemical defences in plants: tradeoffs, syndromes, or just many different ways to skin a herbivorous cat?
(Wiley, 2013-04)Most plant species have a range of traits that deter herbivores. However, understanding of how different defences are related to one another is surprisingly weak. Many authors argue that defence traits trade off against ... -
Herbivores safeguard plant diversity by reducing variability in dominance
(2018-01)Reductions in community evenness can lead to local extinctions as dominant species exclude subordinate species; however, herbivores can prevent competitive exclusion by consuming otherwise dominant plant species, thus ... -
Nutrient availability controls the impact of mammalian herbivores on soil carbon and nitrogen pools in grasslands
(Wiley, 2020-02)Grasslands are subject to considerable alteration due to human activities globally, including widespread changes in populations and composition of large mammalian herbivores and elevated supply of nutrients. Grassland soils ... -
Spatial heterogeneity in species composition constrains plant community responses to herbivory and fertilisation
(Wiley, 2018-09)Environmental change can result in substantial shifts in community composition. The associated immigration and extinction events are likely constrained by the spatial distribution of species. Still, studies on environmental ...
