Other claims from this paper (12)
- Association Hurricane disturbance significantly affected canopy invertebrate abundance.
- Observation Sap-suckers and molluscs were more abundant in tree-fall gaps than intact forest.
- Observation Defoliators, detritivores and emergent aquatic insects were less abundant in tree-fall gaps than intact forest.
- Association Tree species significantly affected invertebrate abundance.
- Observation Most invertebrate taxa had significant annual abundance variation.
- Observation Two Homoptera species declined linearly through recovery time.
- Observation Leaf area missing varied significantly by season and year.
- Association Leaf area missing differed by tree species and hurricane treatment.
- Observation Leaf area missing generally peaked in the wet season.
- Observation Leaf area missing was highest during the 1994 drought.
- Association Leaf area missing tended to be higher on more abundant tree species.
- Association Herbivore abundance and leaf area missing were unrelated to foliar nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium or calcium.
