Effects of local tree diversity on herbivore communities diminish with increasing forest fragmentation on the landscape scale.
Forest fragmentation and plant diversity have been shown to play a crucial role for herbivorous insects (herbivores, hereafter). In turn, herbivory-induced leaf area loss is known to have direct implications for plant growth and reproduction as well as long-term consequences for ecosystem functionin...
