Predation pressure by arthropods, birds, and rodents is interactively shaped by tree species richness, vegetation structure, and season

Tree species richness, forest structure, and seasonal fluctuations between rainy and dry seasons can strongly affect trophic interactions in forest ecosystems, but the inter- and scale dependence of these variables remains unclear. Using artificial caterpillars (~18,000 replicates), we analyzed pred...
