Anchored hybrid enrichment provides new insights into the phylogeny and evolution of longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) (2018, background): “However, larval feeding can also seriously damage or even kill the host plant, either directly, or when the larval tunnels and adult emergence holes provide access points for pathogenic fungi (e.g. Schowalter, 2009).”
Effects of saltmarsh invasion by Spartina alterniflora on arthropod community structure and diets (2009, background): “Insects are also sensitive to the changes in both abiotic and biotic environments, so they can be envisaged as useful indicators of subtle environmental changes (Schowalter 2000).”
Direct and indirect ecosystem consequences of an invasive pest on forests dominated by eastern hemlock (2002, background): “In contrast, ecosystem function changes resulting from the alteration of forest structure by pests and pathogen outbreaks remain largely unexplored (Matson & Boone, 1984; Jenkins et al., 1999; Schowalter, 2000).”
Small-scale habitat use and assemblage structure of ground-dwelling beetles in a Patagonian shrub steppe (2006, background): “This suggests that beetles ‘spill-over’ from shrubs patches and travel across the least hospitable inter-shrub areas, either to meet physiological or food requirements (Schowalter, 2000), or to avoid natural enemies that also aggregate beneath shrubs (Parmenter and MacMahon, 1988a, b).”
A review of relationships between interspecific competition and invasions in fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) (2004, background): “As a result, many species avoid resources that are chemically marked or have already been exploited in some way (Schowalter, 2000).”
The Effect of the Tsetse Fly on African Development (2015, background): “Insects are particularly vulnerable to dessication during molts [Schowalter, 2011].”
How are insects responding to global warming (2007, background): “Insects comprise 54 % of all known species and occupy every terrestrial habitat (Schowalter 2000), so exploring the responses of insects to climate change will provide us with a good understanding of how climate change is affecting biological systems.”
Insect population dynamics meets ecosystem ecology: effects of herbivory on soil nutrient dynamics (2001, background): “Given the recent interest in the role of species in ecosystems (Jones & Lawton, 1995) and publications by Schowalter (2000) and Belovsky & Slade (2000), it is worth re-examining potential effects of insect herbivores on ecosystem function.”
INSECT HERBIVORY INCREASES LITTER QUALITY AND DECOMPOSITION: AN EXTENSION OF THE ACCELERATION HYPOTHESIS (2003, background): “Although insect herbivory is common in terrestrial ecosystems, it has only recently been considered an important and persistent control on ecosystem processes (Schowalter 2000, Hunter 2001) and has not been included as a factor in most ecosystem models.”
The Various Effects of Insects on Ecosystem Functioning (2008, background): “Because of their regular outbreaks, Schowalter proposed that herbivorous insects act as cybernetic regulators for ecosystem processes (Schowalter 2000a, b).”
Effects of forest management on ground-dwelling beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae, Staphylinidae) in Central Europe are mainly mediated by changes in forest structure (2014, neutral): “, 2007) and suggested to be included in conservation and restoration efforts (Schowalter, 2006).”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “…change ecosystem diversity, forest composition, structure, and microenvironment, their impacts on critical ecosystem processes such as productivity, decomposition, and nutrient cycling and retention are just beginning to be quantified (Vitousek 1986; Schowalter 2000; Lovett et al. 2006).”
Wildlife species associated with non-coniferous vegetation in Pacific Northwest conifer forests: A review (2007, background): “Insectivores may be linked to certain plant taxa through their insect prey (Holmes and Robinson, 1981) because most forest insects use specific host plant species (Edwards and Wratten, 1980), and diversity and abundance of herbivorous insects varies among plant species (Schowalter, 2000).”
Higher‐level phylogeny of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomeloidea) inferred from mitochondrial genomes (2020, background): “In cultivated ecosystems, they may become forest pests that damage or kill the host plants and cause significant ecological and economic damage (Linsley, 1959; Nowak et al., 2001; Schowalter, 2009; McKenna, 2016).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Biological Invasion and Habitat Fragmentation (2005, background): “One of the most prominent examples of density effects is the mass migration of locusts caused by crowding and accompanied by morphological changes (Schowalter 2000).”
