Effects of herbivores on grassland plant diversity.
The role of herbivores in controlling plant species richness is a critical issue in the conservation and management of grassland biodiversity. Numerous field experiments in grassland plant communities show that herbivores often, but not always, increase plant diversity. Recent work suggests that the mechanisms of these effects involve alteration of local colonization of species from regional sp...
متن کاملEffects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity
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 by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted a literature search, which yielded 141 studies on this topic of which 24 simultaneously investigated plant and arthropod diversity. Using the ...
متن کاملPotential Repellents to Reduce Damage by Herbivores
Economic losses caused by herbivores and other species that inflict damage by browsing or gnawing are substantial. Because lethal approaches to damage reduction are not always practical or desirable, there is an increase in interest in the development of alternative, non-lethal technologies. Repellents may provide a feasible alternative. Here, we present recent studies of three repellent types:...
متن کاملMolecular Approaches for Studying Root Herbivores
The use of molecular techniques in insect ecology has expanded rapidly, allowing ever morechallengingquestions tobeaddressed.Comparedto their abovegroundequivalents, root herbivoremolecular ecology has received less attention, despite essentially the same ecological questions being of importance in both the aboveand belowground ecosystems. Studies so far have concentrated on economically import...
