Conditional outcomes in plant/herbivore interactions: neighbours matter (2006, methodology): “The pines, although without significant differences, tended to be attacked mainly under shrubs, thus corresponding to a case of associational susceptibility (Milchunas and Noy-Meir 2002).”
Where do seedlings go? A spatio-temporal analysis of seedling mortality in a semi-arid gypsophyte (2008, background): “Therefore, their hypothetical facilitative effect against herbivory could be attributed to associational avoidance by herbivores (Milchunas and Noy-Meir 2002), i.e. herbivores may ignore H. squamatum seedlings growing in a matrix of other, unpalatable species.”
Unpalatable plants facilitate tree sapling survival in wooded pastures (2006, background): “2004), associational avoidance (Milchunas & Noy-Meir 2002) and defence guilds (Atstatt & Odowd 1976), is one of the processes driving tree establishment in wooded pastures (Olff et al .”
Plant trait responses to grazing – a global synthesis (2007, background): “Although the influence of productivity on plant grazing response has been widely recognized (e.g. Proulx & Mazumder, 1998; Milchunas & Noy-Meir, 2002), that of herbivory history has been largely ignored and very few empirical studies have taken it into consideration (e.g. Naveh & Whittaker, 1979;…”
Indirect facilitation promotes macrophyte survival and growth in freshwater ecosystems threatened by eutrophication (2012, background): “…can occur as a result of neighbouring plant protection (Bertness & Callaway 1994; Brooker & Callaghan 1998), through either the occurrence of biotic refuges (physical barrier such as spine presence, Callaway 1995) or associational avoidance (see Milchunas & Noy-Meir 2002 for a review).”
Role of fish herbivory in structuring the vertical distribution of canopy algae Cystoseira spp. in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Thus, some zones along the depth gradient of rocky shores represent refuges from consumers, and such spatial heterogeneity in herbivory can strongly contribute to the regional diversity of macrophytes (Milchunas & Noy-Meir 2002).”
