- Intervention effect Mogulones crucifer depressed the population growth rate of Cynoglossum officinale below the replacement level.
- Intervention effect The population growth rate of Hackelia micrantha was never depressed below the replacement level.
- Intervention effect Differences between release and nonrelease sites in Hackelia micrantha could not be explained by vital rates.
- Mechanism Plant life history and uneven herbivore host preferences may interact to produce differences in population-level impacts between target and nontarget plants.
