This project tests the 'green world hypothesis' by examining how predators like birds, bats, and ants affect herbivore populations and plant growth across diverse forests. It employs factorial experiments along a latitudinal gradient to understand predator interactions and their impact on ecosystem dynamics.
Why is the world green?
Because predators control herbivores, allowing plants to flourish.
This >50 years old answer to the deceptively simple question remains controversial.
After all, plants are also protected from herbivores physically and by secondary chemistry.
My goal is to test novel aspects of the “green world hypothesis”: ● How the importance of top-down effects varies with forest diversity and productivity along a latitudinal gradient? ● How the key predators, birds, bats and ants, con…
