Herbivore damage increases avian and ant predation of caterpillars on trees along a complete elevational forest gradient in Papua New Guinea

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Parasitic and predatory arthropods and insectivorous birds are among natural enemies of the herbivorous insect which can prevent plants from being severely damaged by herbivores. Recent studies show that plants suffering from an attack by herbivores canactively reduce the number of herbivorous insects by attracting predators; this phenomenon, known as plants crying for help?, is due to a tritrophic interaction, in which the damaged plants are more attractive for natural enemies of herbivores. Signals given off by plants to alert predators to herbivore attack may provide exciting examples of coevolution among organisms from multiple trophic levels. We examined whether signals from mechanically damaged trees (simulating damage by herbivores) attract predators of insects along a complete elevational rainforest gradient in tropical region, where various predators are expected to occur at particular elevational belts. We studied predation of artificial caterpillars on trees with and withou
