Interactive effects of herbivory and competition intensity determine invasive plant performance.
Huang Wei; Carrillo, J.; Ding JianQing; Siemann, E.; Springer Berlin, Heidelberg, Germany, Oecologia, 2012, 170, 2, pp 373-382, 54 ref. Herbivory can reduce plant fitness, and its effects can be increased by competition. Though numerous studies have examined the joint effects of herbiv...
