Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, background): “In complement, physical defences act via traits that physically decrease the potential for food acquisition (e.g. leaf toughness, trichomes; Awmack & Leather 2002; Hanley et al. 2007).”
Summer drought alters plant‐mediated competition between foliar‐ and root‐feeding insects (2007, background): “…on which the performance of their larvae would be increased r 2007 The Authors Journal compilation r 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 13, 866–877 (Thompson, 1988; Awmack & Leather, 2002), though the possibility of differential egg or early instar survival cannot be discounted.”
Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? (2004, background): “It would also have been interesting to assess whether the quality of the few aphids that survived on the arbuscular mycorrhizal plants is high enough to support parasitoid development (Awmack & Leather, 2002), but this was beyond the scope of this study.”
Evaluation of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) varieties for use as trap plants for the management of African stemborer (Busseola fusca) in a push–pull strategy (2007, background): “Some herbivores, such as Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (see review of Awmack & Leather, 2002), are known to feed more (compensatory feeding) when exposed to host plants of low nutrition (Slansky & Wheeler, 1989).”
Sexual size dimorphism within species increases with body size in insects (2005, background): “…quality (food availability, food quality, photoperiod etc. depend- ing on the particular study): a larger final (either pupal or adult) size was considered to indicate more favourable conditions during the juvenile development (a common practice in insect ecology, Awmack and Leather 2002).”
Drought effects on damage by forest insects and pathogens: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “…be more susceptible to increased defence compounds in leaf tissues of water-stressed trees than sap feeders (e.g. aphids), phloem and cambium feeders as vascular tissues contain lower amount of allelochemicals (Mattson & Haack, 1987; Larsson, 1989; Awmack & Leather, 2002; Huberty & Denno, 2004).”
Herbivore and pollinator responses to grassland management intensity along experimental changes in plant species richness (2012, background): “, 2009) and also increases the nutrient content in leaves, leading to greater fodder quality as well as food quality for naturally occurring herbivores (Minkenberg and Ottenheim, 1990; Awmack and Leather, 2002).”
Influence of experimental warming and shading on host–parasitoid synchrony (2010, background): “There is a growing body of work exploring how disrupted synchrony may affect plant–herbivore (Hunter & Elkinton, 2000; Visser & Holleman, 2001; Awmack & Leather, 2002; Bale et al., 2002; Watt & McFarlane, 2002; Tikkanen & JulkunenTiitto, 2003) and predator–prey (Chown & Smith, 1993; Sanford, 1999;…”
Resurrecting the ghost of green revolutions past: The brown planthopper as a recurring threat to high-yielding rice production in tropical Asia (2012, background): “Nitrogen-enriched plants can significantly enhance the size, performance, and abundance of herbivorous insects (Awmack and Leather, 2002).”
Dual benefit from a belowground symbiosis: nitrogen fixing rhizobia promote growth and defense against a specialist herbivore in a cyanogenic plant (2011, background): “With respect to higher trophic levels, the outcome of increased levels of amino acids and proteins should differ from the effects of enhanced concentrations of toxic nitrogen containing metabolites such as alkaloids or cyanogenic glycosides (Johnson and Bentley 1991; Ball et al. 2000; Awmack and Lea”
Observed and anticipated impacts of drought on forest insects and diseases in the United States (2016, background): “These changes are associated with reduction in folivore feeding and reproduction (Wagner and Zhang, 1993; Awmack and Leather, 2002).”
