The effects of temperature on insect herbivory rates
Although the consumption rate of plant life by insects is dependent upon temperature, relatively little is known about how these effects play out at different temperatures and with different insect/plant combinations. This peer-reviewed study investigated these effects with 21 herbivore-plant combinations and found a wide range of responses. [Image from figure 1 of the article] -
