Long‐term impacts of insect herbivores on plant populations and communities
As major consumers of plants, insect herbivores have strong potential to influence long‐term
patterns of plant abundance and community structure. Nonetheless, remarkably few …

Solar radiation and ENSO predict fruiting phenology patterns in a 15‐year record from Kibale National Park, Uganda
Fruiting, flowering, and leaf set patterns influence many aspects of tropical forest
communities, but there are few long‐term studies examining potential drivers of these …

Biological control agents: invasive species or valuable solutions?
To a large degree, the most serious insect and weed pests around the world are non-native,
invasive species. Classical biological control, the introduction of natural enemies of invasive …

[HTML][HTML] Integrating chemical plant trait-and ecological-based approaches to better understand differences in insect herbivory between cultivated and natural systems
Cultivated plants are often much more susceptible to insect herbivores than wild-type plants.
In addressing this observation, much attention has focused on a trait-based approach, and …
