Soil fertility regulates invasive herbivore performance and top-down control in tropical agroecosystems of Southeast Asia

2017-11-01

Abstract excerpt

In terrestrial ecosystems, changes in soil nutrient availability, plant growth or natural enemies can generate important shifts in abundance of organisms at various trophic levels. In agroecosystems the performance of (invasive) herbivores and their impacts on crops is of particular concern. Scientists are presently challenged with making reliable inferences on invader success, natural enemy performance and effica...
