Plant phylogenetic relatedness and herbivore specialization interact to determine pest biocontrol efficiency in mixed plantations
Pest herbivory regulation is one of the key functions provided by diverse ecosystems, especially when compared to species depauperate agro-ecosystems and in the context of increased pest outbreaks due to global change. The dilution effect of host diversity on insect herbivory suggests that mixed pla...
