Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Herbivore Interactions on Islands

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
Theory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences ... Leer más
