Species richness increases with energy availability, yet there is little consensus as to the
exact processes driving this species–energy relationship. The most straightforward …

Predictive theory on how plant diversity promotes herbivore suppression through movement
patterns, host associations, and predation promises a potential alternative to pesticide …

Limiting climate warming to< 2° C requires increased mitigation efforts, including land
stewardship, whose potential in the United States is poorly understood. We quantified the …

Increasing plant diversity can increase ecosystem functioning, stability, and services in both
natural and managed grasslands, but the effects of herbivore diversity, and especially of …

In the past two decades, a large number of studies have investigated the relationship
between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, most of which focussed on a limited set of …

Arthropod herbivores cause substantial economic costs that drive an increasing need to
develop environmentally sustainable approaches to herbivore control. Increasing plant …

Biodiversity is rapidly declining, and this may negatively affect ecosystem processes,
including economically important ecosystem services. Previous studies have shown that …

Species diversity is a major determinant of ecosystem productivity, stability, invasibility, and
nutrient dynamics. Hundreds of studies spanning terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 597–605 Abstract Intensification or abandonment of agricultural
land use has led to a severe decline of semi‐natural habitats across Europe. This can cause …

Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected …
