Multi-trophic interactions of Butterflies Along a gradienT of MANagement intensity in grasslands and forest
- Diversity of butterfly communities decreases with increasing land use intensity but their associated trophic interactions can be positively or negatively influenced with increasing land use intensity and management.
- Endophytic fungi of the genus Neotyphodium in grass species will be affected by increasing land use intensity and management.
- The relative importance of bottom-up vs. top-down forces of phytophagous butterfly larvae changes along a land use gradient.
