Sequential herbivory and the results of Delamore et al. (2025, doi: 10.1111/nph.70822). The figure is a graphical representation of the concept of sequential herbivory, that is, the temporally distinct arrival of multiple herbivores on the same plant, with a summary of the overall findings of the meta-analysis by Delamore et al. on how the generalizable effects of sequential herbivory impact herbivore and plant responses.

Healthy #soils are alive with movement, feeding, digging, and tiny interactions that shape our food, climate and health. In this video, I explore soil ecoacoustics — a cutting-edge way to “listen” to the hidden world beneath our feet.
