… Lehtilä and Strauss 5 examined lifetime pollen and seed production in caterpillar-damaged
versus undamaged wild-radish plants. Wild radish exhibited full compensation for herbivory …

Herbivores can consume significant amounts of plant biomass in many environments. Yet
plants are not defenseless against such attack. Although defenses might benefit plants in the …

Biological invasions dramatically affect the distribution, abundance and reproduction of many
native species. Because of these ecological effects, exotic species can also influence the …

Some species introduced into new geographical areas from their native ranges wreak ecological
and economic havoc in their new environment. Although many studies have searched …

▪ Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are broadly interested in how the interactions
among organisms influence their abundance, distribution, phenotypes, and genotypic …

… Soil cores do not indicate extensive, longlived seed banks in this system (SY Strauss
unpublished data), so that this contradiction between observed and expected morph ratios …

The diversity of indirect interactions tlzaf cdfl occur within communities is large. Recent
research on indirect interactions is scattered in tCle literature under numerous labels. Tke …

The relationship between phylogenetic distance and ecological similarity is key to understanding
mechanisms of community assembly, a central goal of ecology. The field of community …

Our past focus on seed production as a surrogate for total plant fitness may have created a
bias in our assessments of the effects of herbivory on plants. This bias may be especially …
