Global effects of land use intensity on the impoverishment of insect herbivore assemblages

2015-02-01

Abstract excerpt

The modification of pristine wildlife habitats by land use is a worldwide cause of species extinction, as most native species cannot persist at high levels of human land use intensity. In this study, we gathered 90 lists of local interactions between herbivorous insects and their host plants to investigate the effects of land use intensity on the species richness and taxonomic diversity of insect herbivore assembl...
