We used DNA-barcoding to identify herbivore-host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large-scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic di...

Samples of insects and spiders directly from randomly selected saplings of the Comparative Study Plots, obtained with beating tray sampling. Enables to test to what extent woody plant diversity affects the abundance, species composition and divers...

Phylogenetic tree of lepidopteran caterpillars sampled on the Main Experiment. Supplement to Wang et al. 2020.

We studied eight tree species growing in a long gradient of local neighbourhood tree species richness (0 - 7 heterospecific neighbours). We assessed biodiversity effects on water availability by using a target tree’s twig wood carbon isotope compo...

1. Background Fungal pathogens have the potential to affect plant biogeography and ecosystem processes through their influence on the fitness and functioning of their plant hosts. Simultaneously, changes in plant communities can influence fungal p...
