Phenolic glycosides of the Salicaceae and their role as anti-herbivore defenses
Since the 19th century the phytochemistry of the Salicaceae has been systematically
investigated, initially for pharmaceutical and later for ecological reasons. The result of these …

The ecological importance of intraspecific variation
Human activity is causing wild populations to experience rapid trait change and local
extirpation. The resulting effects on intraspecific variation could have substantial …

From plants to birds: higher avian predation rates in trees responding to insect herbivory
Background An understanding of the evolution of potential signals from plants to the
predators of their herbivores may provide exciting examples of co-evolution among multiple …

Herbivore damage increases avian and ant predation of caterpillars on trees along a complete elevational forest gradient in Papua New Guinea
Signals given off by plants to alert predators to herbivore attack may provide exciting
examples of coevolution among organisms from multiple trophic levels. We examined …

Genetic variation in a tropical tree species influences the associated epiphytic plant and invertebrate communities in a complex forest ecosystem
Genetic differences among tree species, their hybrids and within tree species are known to
influence associated ecological communities and ecosystem processes in areas of limited …

Increased nitrogen availability influences predator–prey interactions by altering host-plant quality
Little is known about how plant nutritional and defensive qualities interact to influence
predator–prey interactions. To address this need, we provided the neo-tropical milkweed …

A conditional trophic cascade: birds benefit faster growing trees with strong links between predators and plants
Terrestrial systems are thought to be organized predominantly from the bottom‐up, but there
is a growing literature documenting top‐down trophic cascades under certain ecological …
