ASSESSING HERBIVORY AND PREDATION ON HERBIVOROUS ARTHROPODS ON CROPS AFTER THE LOSS OF BIRDS

Objective

The goal of this project is to understand how the loss of birds have affected herbivory and predation on herbivorous larvae in agricultural crops.Objectives:Quantify herbivory on crops in Guam (lacking birds and with reduced vertebrate predation) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna islands (retaining birds and other vertebrate predators).Determine the differences in predation on herbivorous larvae on crops found in Guam (lacking birds and with reduced vertebrate predation) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianna islands (retaining birds and other vertebrate predators).
