Host Specificity, Alpha- and Beta-Diversity of Phytophagous Beetles in Two Tropical Forests in Panama (2004, unknown): “Accordingly, appropriate statistical replication was based on equal beating time as a rough substitute measurement for leaf area (Ødegaard 2000b, 2004).”
Insects on Plants: Diversity of Herbivore Assemblages Revisited (2005, background): “…in tropical forests, the spatial distribution of individual insects is a poor indicator of herbivore niches and host ranges, because highly mobile insects circulate freely within a botanically diverse forest canopy [including lianas (Ødegaard 2000)] rather than being limited to their hosts.”
How many species of arthropods? Erwin's estimate revised (2000, background): “Ødegaard (2000) have shown that the total numbers of beetle species associated with trees and lianas were not significantly different in a tropical dry forest in Panama.”
