Arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) is a widely distributed plant-fungal symbiosis in natural ecosystem. Herbivore is a general ecological process in grassland ecosystem. In order to discover the ecological stretegies among AM fungi–plant–animal, the interrelation between AM fungi and herbivore and the response of host plant on their cooperative effects were studied in this review, and three points were discussed: 1) the research about herbivore on AM fungi colonization and AM fungi spores population, 2) the influence of AM on animals behaviors, especially the insects gather their foods, and 3) the responses of plants to their cooperative effects. Finally research perspectives were also given out in this field.
