Abstract

  • Early survival and performance are key life-history traits that account for the variation in individual fitness and shapes population dynamics (Fig 1).
  • The early stages of a plant’s life cycle (Fig 2a) are usually the most critical, being vulnerable to pressures such as herbivores and parasites more than later stages.
  • Questions: How do natural enemies impact early survival and regrowth of plants?
