TL;DR: A global dataset is used to investigate host range for over 7,500 insect herbivore species covering a wide taxonomic breadth and interacting with more than 2,000 species of plants in 165 families to ask whether relatively specialized and generalized herbivores represent a dichotomy rather than a continuum from few to many host families and species attacked and whether diet breadth changes with increasing plant species richness toward the tropics.

Host specificity of Lepidoptera in tropical and temperate forests
Lee A. Dyer,Michael S. Singer,John T. Lill,John O. Stireman,G. L. Gentry,Robert J. Marquis,Robert E. Ricklefs,Harold F. Greeney,David L. Wagner,Helena C. Morais,Ivone Rezende Diniz,Thomas A. Kursar,Thomas A. Kursar,Phyllis D. Coley,Phyllis D. Coley +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that greater specialization in tropical faunas is the result of differences in trophic interactions; for example, there are more distinct plant secondary chemical profiles from one tree species to the next in tropical forests than in temperate forests as well as more diverse and chronic pressures from natural enemy communities.

Climatic unpredictability and parasitism of caterpillars: Implications of global warming
John O. Stireman,Lee A. Dyer,Daniel H. Janzen,Michael S. Singer,John T. Lill,Robert J. Marquis,Robert E. Ricklefs,Grant L. Gentry,Winifred Hallwachs,Phyllis D. Coley,J. A. Barone,Harold F. Greeney,Heidi Connahs,Pedro Barbosa,Helena C. Morais,Ivone Rezende Diniz +15 more
TL;DR: This work compares caterpillar-parasitoid interactions across a broad gradient of climatic variability and finds that the combined data in 15 geographically dispersed databases show a decrease in levels of parasitism as Climatic variability increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Abundance of Insect Herbivore Species in the Tropics: The High Local Richness of Rare Species
TL;DR: The high richness of relatively rare species in the cerrado site poses challenges in understanding the reasons for such rarity, the organization of such assemblages, the gradient of species richness from low to high latitudes, the estimation of biodiversity, and conservation management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns and correlates of interspecific variation in foliar insect herbivory and pathogen attack in Brazilian cerrado
TL;DR: Plant and leaf traits were correlated with interspecific variation in attack by herbivores and pathogens in order to account for differences among plant species, and protein availability and plant height were positive predictors of pathogen attack among plant Species, while leaf expansion rate was a significant negative predictor.
