Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “…(such as wood borers and termites, the latter being particularly abundant in the tropics [Cornwell et al. 2009]) can cause extensive damage and contribute substantially to tropical tree mortality (Bultman and Southwell 1976, Apolinário and Martius 2004, Nair 2007, Werner and Prior 2007).”
Which trees die during drought? The key role of insect host‐tree selection (2019, background): “More important, folivory is typically not a significant source of tree mortality com - pared to bark beetles or wood borers (see the summaries in Nair, 2007; Stephenson et al., 2011; Anderegg et al., 2015; Das et al., 2016).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “…of increased metabolism, and hence earlier maturity, along with freedom from the limitations of a discrete yearly active period dictated by seasonality (excluding those in regions subject to extreme seasonal precipitation) (Fischer 1960; Bigger 1976; Seger 1983; Hunt and Amdam 2005; Nair 2007).”
