• Predation on exposed and leaf-rolling artificial caterpillars in tropical forests of Papua New Guinea (2012, background): “However, leaf refuges can also serve as cues to predators and thus have negative effects on survival of their inhabitants (Nakamura & Ohgushi 2003), as demonstrated for birds (Murakami 1999, Robinson & Holmes 1982), and predatory and parasitic wasps (Gentry & Dyer 2002, Weiss et al. 2004).”
• The tri-trophic niche concept and adaptive radiation of phytophagous insects (2005, background): “…interactions, De Moraes et al. 1998), as several studies show that the particular ways herbivores use host plants explain variation in parasitism rates of hosts in natural communities (e.g. Hawkins 1994; Barbosa et al. 2001; Gentry & Dyer 2002; Lill et al. 2002; Stireman & Singer 2003).”
• Feeding by lepidopteran larvae is dangerous: A review of caterpillars’ chemical, physiological, morphological, and behavioral defenses against natural enemies (2012, background): “…deleterious effects on potential attackers, and are likely toxic to some degree (Hays and Vinson, 1971; Eisner et al., 1980; Blum et al., 1981; Brower 1984, Stamp, 1984, Peterson et al., 1987; Freitas and Oliveira, 1992; Salazar and Whitman, 2001; Gentry and Dyer 2002; Oliveira and Freitas, 2004).”
• Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “Extensive surveys in caterpillars did not find a close association between coloration and chemical defenses, suggesting that factors other than predation may play a role in the evolution of caterpillar color patterns (Dyer 1995, Gentry & Dyer 2002).”
• DETERMINANTS OF PARASITOID–HOST ASSOCIATIONS: INSIGHTS FROM A NATURAL TACHINID–LEPIDOPTERAN COMMUNITY (2003, background): “…rates in Lepidoptera have tended to rely on records of parasitoid–host associations derived from the literature (e.g., Hawkins 1994, Sheehan 1994, Dyer and Gentry 1999; though see Gentry and Dyer 2002), which is known to be fraught with misidentifications of both hosts and parasitoids (Shaw 1994).”
• The effects of plant quality on caterpillar growth and defense against natural enemies (2006, unknown): “In Dyer’s work with tropical lepidopterans, specialists were more able to sequester host plant chemicals and had reduced predation (Dyer and Floyd 1993, Dyer 1997, Gentry and Dyer 2002).”
