Contrasting patterns of insect herbivory and predation pressure across a tropical rainfall gradient
One explanation for the extraordinarily high tree diversity of tropical lowland forests is that it is maintained by specialized natural enemies such as insect herbivores, which cause distance- and density-dependent mortality. Insect herbivory could also explain the positive correlation between tree...
