A unified framework for herbivore-to-producer biomass ratio reveals the relative influence of four ecological factors

Takehiro Kazama et al. develop a framework based on Lotka–Volterra models to identify the relative influences of production rate, defense traits, nutrient contents of producers, and predation, in affecting the biomass ratio of herbivores to primary producers in a community. They apply this framework...
