Book ChapterDOI
Insect herbivory below ground.
Valerie K. Brown,Alan C. Gange +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses insect herbivory below ground, which can influence the full complement of parameters affected by the feeding activities of herbivores above ground.

The Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution of Periodical Cicadas
Kathy S. Williams,Chris Simon +1 more
TL;DR: Recent work supports and modifies previous hypotheses concerning periodical cicada intra- and interspecific interactions, movement patterns, juvenile development rates, life-cycle switching, the evolution of periodicity, and .the origination of broods and species.

Below-ground herbivory in natural communities: a review emphasizing fossorial animals
TL;DR: Direct evidence suggests that plants have responded evolutionarily to herbivory by enhancing the functional capacities of below-ground organs, thus developing a degree of tolerance, and by producing compounds that serve as feeding deterrents.

Reproductive character displacement and speciation in periodical cicadas, with description of a new species, 13-year Magicicada neotredecim.
David C. Marshall,John R. Cooley +1 more
TL;DR: Speciation in Magicicada may be facilitated by life‐cycle changes that create temporal isolation, and reinforcement could play a role by fostering divergence in premating signals prior to speciation, as well as two theories ofMagicicada speciation by life-cycle evolution: “nurse‐brood facilitation” and “life‐cycle canalization.”

Increased reproductive success at high densities and predator satiation for periodical cicadas
TL;DR: The reproductive success of periodical cicadas, measured as the number of offspring produced per adult, is found to increase as adult density increases, and predator satiation is explored, which indicates that predators cannot respond numerically to the cicada emergence.
