The tree growth–herbivory relationship depends on functional traits across forest biodiversity experiments - Nature Ecology & Evolution
It is unclear whether the linkage between tree species richness and insect herbivory is consistent across climates and forest types. Here, the authors analyse data from forest biodiversity experiments...
