Anthropogenic pressures, rather than plant vigour, promote insect herbivory rates on Securidaca longepedunculata along elevation in a South African woodland

2025-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Understanding how chronic anthropogenic disturbances shape species interactions can enhance our ability to predict biodiversity resilience and guide conservation actions. Securidaca longepedunculata faces various stressors, including herbivory, which can negatively affect plant fitness by reducing growth, survival, and reproductive output. To investigate the impacts of anthropogenic and environmental stressors on...
