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 Stoichiometry of Nutrient Release by Terrestrial Herbivores and Its Ecosystem Consequences (2017, background): “For invertebrate herbivores, the general view is that they speed up nutrient cycling in terrestrial systems by changing litter quantity and quality, modifying the nutrient content of throughfall, and releasing easily-available nutrients in frass and cadavers (Hunter, 2001).”
Trophic control of grassland production and biomass by pathogens (2003, background): “…6: 147–155 I N T R O D U C T I O N Like insect herbivores (Brown & Gange 1989; Oerke et al. 1994; Root 1996; Carson & Root 2000; Schowalter 2000; Hunter 2001), plant pathogens decrease global crop production by roughly 15% (Oerke et al. 1994), can regulate forest ecosystem processes (Castello…”
From Genes to Ecosystems: The Genetic Basis of Condensed Tannins and Their Role in Nutrient Regulation in a Populus Model System (2008, background): “Thus, induction by herbivory may be one understudied mechanism by which associated herbivores have lasting influences on ecosystems (Hunter 2001; Nykänen and Koricheva 2004; Chapman and others 2006).”
Nonadditive effects of mixing cottonwood genotypes on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics (2005, background): “…season can have ‘‘afterlife’’ effects on leaves following senescence that may alter rates of leaf litter decay (Choudhury 1988, Findlay et al. 1996, Hunter 2001, Bardgett and Wardle 2003, Schweitzer et al. 2005), and these effects could result in nonadditive outcomes when litter decomposes in…”
Multi-year ecosystem response to hemlock woolly adelgid infestation in southern New England forests (2008, background): “The rate of herbivore-induced changes in soil nutrient cycling varies depending on the mechanisms by which insects affect their host (Hunter 2001).”
DISTURBANCE BY FIRE FREQUENCY AND BISON GRAZING MODULATE GRASSHOPPER ASSEMBLAGES IN TALLGRASS PRAIRIE (2005, background): “…Arenz and Joern 1996, Jonas et al. 2002, Fay 2003), community-level trophic dynamics (Fagan and Hurd 1991, Moran et al. 1996, Moran and Hurd 1998, Fagan et al. 2002), and ecosystem function (Curry 1994, Belovsky and Slade 2000, Blair et al. 2000, Hunter 2001, Jones et al. 2002, Meyer et al. 2002).”
The effects of the frog Eleutherodactylus coqui on invertebrates and ecosystem processes at two scales in the Luquillo Experimental Forest, Puerto Rico (2003, background): “While our understanding of the role of vertebrate predators in controlling their prey in terrestrial systems is increasing (Hunter 2001b), our understanding of their role in increasing nutrient pools and fluxes through elimination and excretion, and biomass turnover is less developed.”
Positive and negative impacts of insect frass quality on soil nitrogen availability and plant growth (2011, background): “There is a growing body of evidence that the consumption of living foliage by herbivorous insects has significant impacts on ecosystem processes, such as productivity and decomposition (Belovsky and Slade 2000; Schowalter 2000; Hunter 2001; Weisser and Siemann 2004).”
Variation in Grasshopper (Acrididae) Densities in Response to Fire Frequency and Bison Grazing in Tallgrass Prairie (2004, background): “…able to manage sites based on local conditions so that grasshopper densities vary in concert with natural processes, within acceptable limits to range managers while conserving local grasshopper species diversity (Joern 2005) or facilitating nutrient cycling (Belovsky and Slade 2000, Hunter 2001).”
Conserving plant genetic diversity for dependent animal communities (2004, background): “We chose arthropods representing diverse feeding groups (herbivores, predators, and parasites) due to: (1) their enormous diversity (Ehrlich & Wilson 1991), (2) their importance to ecosystem function (Hunter 2001), and (3) their position in the food chain as resources for vertebrates (Samways 1994).”
Timing is everything? Phenological synchrony and population variability in leaf‐chewing herbivores of Quercus (2008, background): “Although research has examined the consequences of changes in insect phenology for higher trophic levels (e.g. Buse et al. , 1999 ), impacts on other ecosystem services provided by insects, such as nutrient cycling ( Belovsky & Slade, 2000; Hunter, 2001 ), have been overlooked.”
The interaction of plant genotype and herbivory decelerate leaf litter decomposition and alter nutrient dynamics (2005, background): “…year (Cyr and Pace 1993, Cebrian 1999), the effects of herbivore- altered litterfall, microclimate, throughfall, honeydew and frass can make important contributions to soil nutrient dynamics (Seastedt and Crossley 1984, Bardgett and Wardle 1998, Schowalter 2000, Hunter 2001, Lovett et al. 2002).”
