Citations in the corpus

• Dummy caterpillars as a simple method to assess predation rates on invertebrates in a tropical agroecosystem (2009, methodology): “Unpublished data by Coley (cited by Richards & Coley, 2007) show no differences between attack rates on artificial lepidopteran larvae and real undefended caterpillars, but whether this is the general rule remains unclear.”
• Seasonality of a Diverse Beetle Assemblage Inhabiting Lowland Tropical Rain Forest in Australia (2009, background): “Interestingly Janzen (1973) and Richards and Windsor (2007) observed spatiotemporal variation in the abundance of rain forest insects, with the more moist (or shaded) sites having a peak in abundance during the dry season, while the drier sites had peaks during the wet season.”
• Plant Herbivore Interactions at the Forest Edge (2008, background): “This is documented for treefall gaps and forest canopies, where highly productive vegetation and increased leafturnover generate a persistent source of young, soft leaves, which are frequently preferred by herbivores (Basset 1992; Richards and Coley 2007).”
• Predation on exposed and leaf-rolling artificial caterpillars in tropical forests of Papua New Guinea (2012, background): “…proved suitable for the assessment of relative predation pressure by different predators – birds, mammals and ants – as each group leaves recognizable marks on the attacked caterpillar (Faveri et al. 2008, Koh & Menge 2006, Loiselle & FarjiBrener 2002, Posa et al. 2007, Richards & Coley 2007).”
• Determining predator identity from attack marks left in model caterpillars: guidelines for best practice (2014, background): “…are available, including the experimental removal or exclusion of predators (Marquis & Whelan, 1994; Sipura, 1999), monitoring disappearance rates of sentinel prey (Feeny et al., 1985; Weseloh, 1990), or the use of artificial or model prey (Loiselle & Farji-Brener, 2002; Richards & Coley, 2007).”
