Description
A factorial field experiment manipulating herbivore abundance and water availability using cages with controlled grasshopper access and supplemental watering or rain-out shelters. Plants from multiple source populations were grown in a common garden environment.
Typical Equipment
- polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe
- Lumite mesh cloth
- polycarbonate sheets
- Hydrosense (Campbell Scientific, Logan, UT, USA)
- sweep nets
Output Measurements
- herbivore damage
- trait plasticity
- fitness components
