摘要：
Damage (visually categorized) was studied during the rainy season in woody vegetation less than 8 m tall (n=230) in 22 circular (radius=1 m) plots ramdomly spread over one hectare of primary premontane tropical rain forest (San Ramon, Costa Pica). About half of the individuals were 0.11-0.5 m tall, and nearly 85% of them were damaged by insects. Severity and number of injury types increased in the tallest plants. Almost half of the individuals less than 0.1 m tall, appeared undamaged. Physical damage occurred in about 6.5% of the plants.
