| 书目名称 | Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Herbivore Interactions on Islands | | 编辑 | Xoaquín Moreira,Luis Abdala-Roberts | | 视频video | | | 概述 | Provides a much needed, up-to-date synthesis of insularity effects on plant defence and herbivory.Represents a valuable resource of new ideas that can be tested by ecologists and practitioners.Provide | | 丛书名称 | Ecological Studies | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Theory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences on islands, recent island-mainland comparisons have yielded mixed results, with some studies finding no differences between islands and mainlands or, surprisingly, higher herbivory and plant defences on islands. In this book, the authors aim to re-assess current theory and initiate a new generation of work on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. This book aims to fill the research gaps by integrating the research that has been done to date and by compiling and summarising new research on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. It provides a critical examinationof the patterns in light of classical theory and identifies potential mechanisms or underlying processes. It also aims to raise new questions that will form the basis for a revised and more robust research | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Biogeography; Biodiversity Conservation; Island Ecology; Plant Defences; Plant-Herbivore Interactions; Sp | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-47814-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-47816-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-47814-7Series ISSN 0070-8356 Series E-ISSN 2196-971X | | issn_series | 0070-8356 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
