Appendix C. A table showing published cases of plantherbivore interactions used in the meta-analysis.
Table C3. Published cases of plantherbivore interactions used in a meta-analysis (MA) to assess the performance of phytophagous insects on experimentally water-stressed host plants, as well as to assess the effect of water stress on plant nitrogen and leaf water content. The taxonomy of herbivores (order, family, and species) and their host plants (family and species) are given.

Notes: Each herbivore effect size and variance [d (var)] in the Herbivore column was constructed as a composite response variable composed of all possible herbivore responses (herbivore density, survivorship, fecundity, relative growth rate, and oviposition preference) for each plantherbivore interaction (as determined by MA of all response variables available for each herbivore). Effect sizes and variances [d (var)] for plant nitrogen (Nitrogen column) and % leaf water content (% Water column) were calculated for those studies that measured these plant variables. Published studies used to calculate effect sizes and variances are numbered in the Ref column and full references appear at the end of the table. Positive effect sizes indicate enhanced performance, elevated nitrogen or increased water content on stressed plants compared to controls, whereas negative effect sizes indicate an adverse effect of plant stress on herbivore performance, plant nitrogen, or leaf water content.
