Although it may be intuitive to assume that the effects of
different large herbivore species on vegetation characteristics
could also be seen at higher trophic levels (Jáuregui et al., 2008),
such cascading effect has rarely been well-quantified. Our results
show that the effects of large herbivores on insect community are
grazer species-specific; and more importantly, depending on plant
diversity of pre-grazing (Table 1 and 3). Consequently, despite our
accumulated knowledge about the role of individual factors such
as grazing management or plant diversity, the lack of clear
understanding on their interactive effects (e.g., plant diversity
large herbivore species) may have led to coarse predictions about
insect community in the past (Sjödin et al., 2008; Zhu et al., 2012).
