The spatial complexity in plant-herbivore dynamics has been identified as an area requiring more detailed studies. Among the key attempts to explain relationships between plant diversity and herbivore populations, from the herbivores' point of view, Elton's 'enemies hypothesis' states that less diverse plant communities undergo greater herbivory due to presence of fewer predators in contrast to complex communities.Full Text

India will surpass China as the world’s most populous country by 2050, with a projected population of 1.67 billion1. Al-though the rate of population growth has decreased, the total fertility rate of 2.2 will keep India’s population growing for decades2. The challenges posed by such increase in population to India’s food security, already under strain from land and resource scarcity, are enormous. Climate change and extreme weather events are already impacting agricultural production, disproportionately affecting vulnerable sections of society through higher food prices, lost livelihood opportunities, adverse health impacts and displacement.Full Text
