Summary

We are a global research network dedicated to describing and understanding how and why patterns in plantherivore interactions vary across the tree of life and around the world. As our study enters its second phase of data collection, we are focusing on refining our sampling objectives to better capture current biological reality and refine our research design.

Plantherivores represent a crucial group of herbivores whose diet and movement strategies depend heavily on their specific tree-dwelling environment. By conducting this second phase, researchers aim to improve their ability to link local ecological factors with global evolutionary outcomes. This phase provides a deeper look at how diverse plant communities shape these intricate plantivore communities. Our sampling efforts focus on optimizing the methods we use to study their behaviors. Ultimately, we hope to advance our understanding of how plantivores evolve and adapt across different habitats.
