Insect herbivory and dispersal plasticity in a wind-dispersed plant fromheterogeneous landscapes Ghent University
Habitat fragmentation and herbivory jointly act as important selection forces in plant communities, affecting fitness within and among populations. The distribution and spatial dynamics of plants and herbivores depend on their dispersal ability, which is largely shaped by the prevailing landscape structure. Although investments in increased emigration traits should benefit plants to escape from locations with high herbivore pressure, opposing ...
