• Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research (2018, background): “Suites of ecologically important factors often co-vary along environmental gradients, making geographic distance (e.g. in latitude: Pennings and Silliman 2005, or elevation: Pellissier et al. 2012) effective proxies for multi-dimensional environmental variation.”
• Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “Some studies indicate that grazing pressure tends to be stronger at low latitudes, resulting in elevated plant and sponge investments in chemical defenses (Bolser & Hay 1996, Pennings & Silliman 2005), and warming-driven range shifts may strengthen species interactions at temperate latitudes.”
• Assessing the evidence for latitudinal gradients in plant defence and herbivory (2011, background): “The idea that biotic interactions, including herbivory, predation and competition are more intense at low latitudes has a long history in ecology (Dobzhansky 1950; MacArthur 1972; Pennings & Silliman 2005).”
• Adaptive geographical clines in the growth and defense of a native plant (2012, background): “Pennings and Silliman (2005) suggested further that the per capita impact of high-vs. low-latitude herbivores may differ.”
• Evolutionary ecology of plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “…T I T U D I N AL G R A D I E N T S Several prominent hypotheses on the evolution of biodiversity along latitudinal gradients predict that the amount of herbivory and investment in plant defence should increase with decreasing latitude (Dobzhansky 1950; Coley & Aide 1991; Pennings & Silliman 2005).”
• Latitudinal variation in herbivory: influences of climatic drivers, herbivore identity and natural enemies (2015, background): “…diversity are thought to be greater at lower latitudes and in warmer climates and thus lead to stronger suppression of herbivores (Dobzhansky 1950, Pennings and Silliman 2005, Van Bael et al. 2008, Schemske et al. 2009, Bj ö rkman et al. 2011), but few studies have rigorously addressed the…”
• Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “In the case of Spartina alterniflora, southern plants also suffer more herbivore damage, although the diversity and density of dominant leaf-chewing consumers changed little with latitude (Pennings & Silliman 2005).”
• Is there more insect folivory in warmer temperate climates? A latitudinal comparison of insect folivory in eastern North America (2009, methodology): “Herbivory is suggested as being more intense and plant defences better developed at lower latitudes (Dobzhansky 1950;MacArthur 1969; Lowman 1985; Coley & Aide 1991; Coley & Barone 1996; Grime 2001; Pennings & Silliman 2005).”
