Aboveground insect herbivory increases plant competitive asymmetry, while belowground herbivory mitigates the effect

Insect herbivores can shift the composition of a plant community, but the mechanism underlying such shifts remains largely unexplored. A possibility is that insects alter the competitive symmetry between plant species. The effect of herbivory on competition likely depends on whether the plants are s...
