3.4) Plant trait response and effect
Accounting for the multiple traits and site and/or species records within studies, we had a total of 1516 recorded responses (plant trait response to herbivory or plant trait effect on herbivore selection). Despite some similarities in studied plant traits between vertebrate and invertebrate focused studies overall, once responses were separated into either trait response to herbivory or trait effect on herbivore selection there was little overlap, and thus our capacity to compare responses between vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores is limited. Subsequently, interpretations below predominantly discuss trait response and effect for these two herbivore guilds separately. We also focus our discussion predominantly on the top-five traits of the most measured responses (Table 2). All trait information can be found in Appendix B and C.
