• Insects on Plants: Diversity of Herbivore Assemblages Revisited (2005, background): “Herbivore community studies can be further complicated by numerous indirect and diffuse effects (Strauss & Irwin 2004) mediated by their predators (Romero & Vasconcellos-Neto 2004) or shared parasitoids [apparent competition (e.g., Morris et al. 2004)].”
• The evolution and ecology of masquerade (2009, background): “…will fall outside this definition because predacious insects can either increase or decrease the number of viable seeds that their host plants produce by consuming seed-eating insects and pollinators, respectively (Louda, 1982; Suttle, 2003; Romero & Vasconcellos-Neto, 2004; Knight et al., 2006).”
• A mutualism's indirect costs: the most aggressive plant bodyguards also deter pollinators (2006, background): “…larcenists or flower-dwelling predators of pollinators, can have indirect positive effects on plants (Maloof and Inouye 2000, Irwin et al. 2001, Romero and Vasconcellos-Neto 2004), the ant guards of F. wislizeni can have indirect costs to the plant (in addition to the direct cost of…”
