Climate change models often assume similar responses to temperatures across the range of a species, but local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity can lead plants and animals to respond differently to temperature in different parts of their range. To date, there have been few tests of this assumption at the scale of continents, so it is unclear if this is a large‐scale problem. Here, we examined the assumption that insect taxa...

Mutualistic symbionts are widespread in plants and may have strong, bottom‐up influences on community structure. Here we show that a grass–endophyte mutualism shifts the composition of a generalist predator assemblage. In replicated, successional fields we manipulated endophyte infection by Neotyphodium coenophialum in a dominant, non‐native plant ( Lolium arundinaceum ). We compared the magnitude of the endophyte effect with...
