Eco-evolutionary Dynamics of Above- and Belowground Herbivores and Invasive Plants

摘要: Selection on plants imposed by herbivores can trigger adaptive evolution in growth, reproduction, and defense. Such evolutionary changes plant traits turn may affect other organisms. These interdependent ecological processes have been demonstrated for plant–herbivore interactions aboveground. But, increasing evidence highlights the importance of belowground performance population dynamics demonstrates complex between above- herbivores. In this chapter, we explore eco-evolutionary interactions. We focus invasive since many them novel herbivore assemblages introduced range, a setting which evolve then exert new impacts The literature suggests that both drive but their effects are not simply additive there is substantial variation plants. Furthermore, responses to cannot be predicted feeding compartment, mode, or diet breadth. Variation consistent with differences loads, non-herbivore organisms, abiotic stresses native ranges. Therefore, without integration compartments, it hard make accurate predictions
