Bats limit arthropods and herbivory in a tropical forest
Submitted by susan on Sat, 2008-04-05 00:51
Previous exclosure studies measuring the top-down control of arthropod abundance and herbivory combined the effects of birds and bats. We experimentally partitioned bird predation from bat predation in a lowland tropical forest in Panama and measured the direct effects (arthropod abundance) and indirect effects (herbivory).
