LATITUDINAL VARIATION IN PALATABILITY OF SALT-MARSH PLANTS: ARE DIFFERENCES CONSTITUTIVE? (2005, background): “Palatability trials with fresh plants conducted in multiple seasons and years demonstrated that both high- and low-latitude herbivores strongly preferred to eat highvs. low-latitude plants of 10 species (the bulk of the plant community) (Pennings et al. 2001).”
Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “Herbivores given a choice of northern or southern conspecifics of ten plant species usually preferred those from the north (Pennings et al. 2001).”
Soil nitrogen cycling rates in low arctic shrub tundra are enhanced by litter feedbacks (2010, background): “Concentrations of secondary plant compounds can vary among genera and species geographically (Bryant et al. 1994; Graglia et al. 2001; Pennings et al. 2001), as can rates of litter decomposition (Cornwell et al.”
Predicting species distribution and abundance responses to climate change: why it is essential to include biotic interactions across trophic levels (2010, background): “In palatability tests, herbivores mostly preferred higher latitude plants over lower latitude plants (Pennings et al. 2001).”
Introduction and Spread of an Exotic Plant, Spartina alterniflora, Along Coastal Marshes of China (2017, background): “alterniflora distribution across latitudinal gradients (Pennings et al. 2001; Siska et al. 2002; Kirwan et al. 2009).”
Strength, slope and variability of marine latitudinal gradients (2004, background): “A latitudinal trend towards higher plant palatability was found for salt-marsh plants offered to herbivores (Pennings et al. 2001).”
GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INTERACTIONS AMONG SALT MARSH PLANTS (2003, background): “…generality across broad spatial scales is central to the success of ecology as a predictive science (Goldberg 1990, Reader et al. 1994), and without it, ecological studies may be little more than a collection of special cases, limited to the time and place in which they were done (Peters 1991).”
Evolution of insect‐plant relationships: chemical constraints, coadaptation, and concordance of insect/plant traits (2002, background): “However, these specialized herbivore traits are poorly known in relation to the underlying geographic variation in plant phytochemistry or palatability (Rausher, 1992; Johnson & Scriber, 1994; Pennings et al., 2001).”
Adaptive geographical clines in the growth and defense of a native plant (2012, result): “Our results for patterns of defense and herbivory are opposite to the prediction that plants from lower latitudes will invest more in defense (Coley and Barone 1996, Pennings et al. 2001).”
Interactions between marsh plant species vary in direction and strength depending on environmental and consumer context (2007, background): “While some consumers target stressed, undefended prey (Pennings et al. 2001; Silliman et al. 2005), often top-down effects increase when bottom-up stressors are relaxed (Vince et al. 1981; Stiling et al. 1991; Silliman & Zieman 2001).”
