Cascading effects of soil type on assemblage size and structure in a diverse herbivore community.

Abstract excerpt

Soil type is understudied as a driver of herbivore community size and structure across host plants. This study extends predictions of resource availability hypotheses to understand how soil types of different resource levels alter plant resistance and structure of herbivore assemblages. In this 2-yr study we use seven dominant chaparral shrub species that grow across a natural mosaic of low and high resource...
