Independent effect on herbivore damage (partial residuals and 95% confidence bands) of (a) chemical leaf trait diversity (Q_chem), (b) community-weighted mean leaf C values (CWM_C), (c) leaf C content dispersion within the plant communities (Q_C), and (d) species-specific mean phylogenetic distance of individuals of the target species to all other plant individuals in the plant communities; (a–c) show mean values of community-level measures across the 27 study plots, (d) shows mean values per study plot for each of the 10 target species. Standardized slopes are provided in Table1.
