title: Levels of insect defoliation in forests: Patterns and concepts.
abstract: Are some forest types more prone to defoliation by insects than others? Recent research has attempted to answer this question empirically, by comparing levels of defoliation recorded in a range of forest types, and theoretically, by making predictions from current herbivory theory.
