Pest Control in Coffee: A Tri-Trophic Comparison Between a Mainland and an Island Agroecosystem. 330 $aTheory and early empirical work posed that herbivore pressure should be lower on islands than on the mainland owing to lower herbivore abundance and diversity in insular systems. Consequently, plant taxa found on islands are expected to be less protected or even to have lost their defences completely. While early observational studies supported the prediction of lower herbivory and plant defences on islands, recent island-mainland comparisons have yielded mixed results, with some studies finding no differences between islands and mainlands or, surprisingly, higher herbivory and plant defences on islands. In this book, the authors aim to re-assess current theory and initiate a new generation of work on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. This book aims to fill the research gaps by integrating the research that has been done to date and by compiling and summarising new research on insularity effects on plant-herbivore interactions. It provides a critical examination of the patterns in light of classical theory and identifies potential mechanisms or underlying processes. It also aims to raise new questions that will form the basis for a revised and more robust research programme. . 410 0$aEcological Studies, Analysis and Synthesis,$x2196-971X ;$v249 606 $aBotany 606 $aZoology 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 606 $aEcology 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aZoology 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology 606 $aEvolutionary Ecology 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aZoology. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology). 615 0$aEcology. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aZoology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aEvolutionary Ecology. 676 $a580 700 $aMoreira$b Xoaquín$01586507 701 $aAbdala-Roberts$b Luis$01586508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799208503321 996 $aEcology and Evolution of Plant-Herbivore Interactions on Islands$93872907 997 $aUNINA
