“…These fi ndings are not surprising, considering the wealth of past literature showing fertilizer effects on plant traits and insect interactions (e.g., Campbell and Halama, 1993 ;Kersch and Fonseca, 2005 ;Muñoz et al, 2005 ;Adler et al, 2006 ;Muth et al, 2008 ;Onoda et al, 2008 ;Burkle and Irwin, 2010 ). The effect of soil nutrients on plants or plant-insect interactions is not always consistent, sometimes decreasing defenses ( Cornelissen and Stiling, 2006 ) or shifting allocation from growth to reproduction, leading to smaller plants ( Muñoz et al, 2005 ;Stiling and Moon, 2005 ).…”

“…While eVects of light on plant growth, physiology, and defensive chemistry are well-known, most experiments exploring the eVects of light on leaf quality and herbivore impact have been unable to separate the eVects of leaf quality and light per se on the distribution of herbivores and their predators (Dudt and Shure 1994;Chacón and Armesto 2006;Muth et al 2008). For example, it is often diYcult to determine if diVerences in herbivory between light and shady microenvironments are due to leaf quality, habitat preferences of the herbivores (i.e., herbivores may be more abundant or ingest more leaf material in one light environment), or habitat preferences of the predators (e.g., Richards and Coley 2008).…”

“…3). It is well known that nitrogen plays a positive role in the development of insects (Giertych et al 2005;Muth et al 2008). Increased body mass of insects is considered to be a good indicator of a habitat favourable for survival (Lee and Roh 2010;Kaplan et al 2014) and of higher quality food (Giertych et al 2005;Tremmel and Müller 2013).…”
