Explaining variation in plant-herbivore associational effects in a tree biodiversity experiment
<p>Within biodiversity-ecosystem function research, a major outstanding question is how herbivory, a critical ecosystem function at the base of the food web, changes along gradients of plant biodiversity. Neighborhood-level associational effects are hypothesized to be a strong driver of biodiversity-herbivory relationships, but we lack a successful framework that explains the wide variation observed in the sign and magnitude of plant-herbivore associational effects, particularly in systems with mainly generalist herbivores. In this study, we combine measurements from a tree biodiversity field experiment with simulation to provide a framework for explaining variation in plant-herbivore associational effects, particularly when herbivores that feed on many different species (e.g., generalists) cause most damage. We show that monoculture herbivory levels of focal species and their neighbors predict the direction and strength of associational effects. We provide evidence that this may be due to a "spillover effect", in which some insect herbivores attracted to focal individuals ultimately end up feeding on neighboring individuals. With an empirically parameterized simulation, we explain how spatial organization modifies biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships when associational effects operate. We suggest a set of experiments to test the generality of our conceptual framework, to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that produce the patterns we find, and to ultimately increase the predictability of plant-herbivore associational effects. We conclude by discussing how our results might inform pest management in diversified agroecosystems and reforestation sites.</p> <p><em>Synthesis</em></p> <p>Our results provide a potential framework for explaining why positive and negative plant-herbivore associational effects are often balanced in systems with primarily generalist herbivores and point to a path forward for predicting when increased plant biodiversity will be associated with increased, decreased, or unchanged levels of insect herbivory on individual plant species in such systems.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraph"><span><span> </span></span></p>

Sevilleta site, station Deep Well, study of plant cover of Cylindropuntia imbricata var. imbricata (tree cholla) in units of percent on a yearly timescale
The EcoTrends project was established in 2004 by Dr. Debra Peters (Jornada Basin LTER, USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range) and Dr. Ariel Lugo (Luquillo LTER, USDA-FS Luquillo Experimental Forest) to support the collection and analysis of long-term ecological datasets. The project is a large synthesis effort focused on improving the accessibility and use of long-term data. At present, there are ~50 state and federally funded research sites that are participating and contributing to the EcoTrends project, including all 26 Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites and sites funded by the USDA Agriculture Research Service (ARS), USDA Forest Service, US Department of Energy, US Geological Survey (USGS) and numerous universities. Data from the EcoTrends project are available through an exploratory web portal (http://www.ecotrends.info). This web portal enables the continuation of data compilation and accessibility by users through an interactive web application. Ongoing data compilation is updated through both manual and automatic processing as part of the LTER Provenance Aware Synthesis Tracking Architecture (PASTA). The web portal is a collaboration between the Jornada LTER and the LTER Network Office. The following dataset from Sevilleta (SEV) contains plant cover of Cylindropuntia imbricata var. imbricata (tree cholla) measurements in percent units and were aggregated to a yearly timescale.
