Weaker plant-enemy interactions decrease tree seedling diversity with edge-effects in a fragmented tropical forest

Tree diversity decreases at the edges of fragmented forests. Here, Krishnadas et al. find that weaker top-down regulation by insects and fungal pathogens during seedling recruitment contributes to reduced tree seedling diversity near forest edges in a human-modified landscape.
