摘要

We examined how herbivore distribution and density, neighboring plant density and species composition, and individual plant morphology all influence the risk that individual arctic lupines (Lupinus arcticus) will be browsed by arctic ground squirrels (Spermophilus parryii plesius). Risk of being browsed was significantly influenced by the number of resident ground squirrels but not by overall squirrel density at a site. As the leaf density of neighboring conspecifics increased, risk of browsing to an individual lupine decreased except when palatable neighbors were also present. The presence of other palatable species increased the risk of browsing. Risk was highest when both lupine and other palatable neighbors were present. The presence of unpalatable neighbors reduced the risk of browsing of individual lupines. We discuss these results in the context of three hypotheses: (1) attractant decoy, (2) resource concentration, and (3) repellent plant. No single hypothesis accounts for our observations, but an interaction between herbivores, neighbors, and individual lupine morphology determined risk of browsing.
