For some relationships, it could be that the the predictor is related to the extremes of the response. Should use quantile regression to get at those relationships. E.g., latitude may mostly influence herbivory or var(herbivory) by setting a limit on what's possible

Herbs vs/ trees: there may be differences between annuals and perennials, or between evergreen and deciduous perennials.

# data[].attributes.body
Because range in mean herbivory is not much different across whole globe. But variation in Gini is huge! Could accompany the biome scatterplot with cartoons illustrating what those values mean

Does the variability in herbivory reflect genetic variability in the plants (such as variability in defense mechanisms)? if yes, then we would expect less variability in agricultural plants than in wild ones, less in rare/endemic plants (low genetic variability) than in widespread ones?

What about variability in variability within-plant variability?

# data[].attributes.subject
What about variability in variability within-plant variability?

# data[].attributes.body
do plants within a population get similar or different levels of leaf to leaf variability?

# data[].attributes.body
should be just that herbivory is really variable! In all systems

How do we communicate how variable herbivory is

# data[].attributes.subject
How do we communicate how variable herbivory is

# data[].attributes.body
illustrate, compare with economics, communicate what this means

# data[].attributes.body
add phylogenies for a few very well represented families

# data[].attributes.body
related to specialization

# data[].attributes.body
among sites. Are there mini regions? Are there clusters? What is the spatial scale of variability in herbivory?

# data[].attributes.headline
Surprising result how strongly correlated var is within and among plants

Surprising result how strongly correlated var is within and among plants

# data[].attributes.body
this might be simplifying

area of each biome

# data[].attributes.body
among sites within biome to variability among plants within sites. use _something_ at a higher spatial scale to anchor understanding. e.g., how different are sites in arctic biome

# data[].attributes.body
have an appendix showing that our results aren't hugely sensitive to when sites were sampled. Could have ordinal day as a predictor.

in figs

median might be better than mean for a lot of these figures and analyses

why did people choose the species/sites they did

why did people choose the species/sites they did

# data[].attributes.body
For a given site how representative were the specific species people sampled. At the global scale we have good representation. But that might break down at the site scale. If we zoom in, this could be an issue

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting result that Gini decreases with plant size, could be a headline result for 1st manuscript to show what is characteristic of herbivory

# data[].attributes.body
resource concentration hypothesis. What does herbivore distribution look like in relation to focal plant cover!?

# data[].attributes.body
in terms of variation in herbivore community. variation in herbivore density and diversity and specialization

# data[].attributes.body
break up the relationship between native/non-native and var(herbivory) by biome, latitude, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
could have fig 1 = overall summary, fig 2 = panel of figs related to macroscale, fig 3 = local scale ecological factors

# data[].attributes.body
propose hypotheses and set the field up to do lots of hypothesis driven work

# data[].attributes.body
Does species richness of the plant family correlation with variation in herbivory? For insects, richness of family correlates with diet breadth. Maybe something to look at down the line.
