Determinants of diversity in afrotropical herbivorous insects (Lepidoptera: Geometridae): plant diversity, vegetation structure or abiotic factors? (2009, background): “Finally, the regression coefficient for FPC 3 is negative, and two plant taxa known to be important food plant for African geometrids – Euphorbiaceae and legumes – have high negative loadings on this principal component.”
Montane Andean rain forests are a global diversity hotspot of geometrid moths (2005, background): “Regional diversity in eastern Africa, however, is low by comparison (Kilimanjaro: Axmacher, 2003; Axmacher et al., 2004), but no data are available from other African sites.”
