Impacts of insect herbivory on cactus population dynamics: experimental demography across an environmental gradient (2009, methodology): “In a greenhouse experiment, we found that persistent applications of carbaryl had no direct effects on tree cholla growth (Appendix B; see also Lau and Strauss 2005).”
Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “Rand & Louda (2004) AC P-H Medicago polymorpha (forb) Alien invertebrate Lotus wrangelianus (forb) Yes –ve Lau & Strauss (2005) AC P-H Myrica faya (tree) Alien invertebrate Metrosideros polymorpha (tree) Yes –ve?”
Macroevolution and the biological diversity of plants and herbivores (2009, background): “Ecological and microevolutionary patterns indicate that when closely related plants coexist shared herbivores may impose important impacts on community structure and selection for defensive strategies (113, 114).”
Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, background): “Indirect effects can also contribute to nonlinear community dynamics (reviewed in Wootton 1994), and can change the pattern of invasion (Lau and Strauss 2005).”
