   Are Trees in Species-Rich Urban Plantings Less Susceptible to Pest Damage? Though that question is a clear yes to me, the article below helped me understand why with greater clarity. Give it a read and see how they put "the resource concentration hypothesis” and “the enemies hypothesis” to the test. Does anyone have other good studies on species diversity and pest impacts? I'd like to learn more. https://entomologytoday.org/2023/11/17/urban-trees-species-diversity-less-pest-damage-scale-insects/#respond
