Does ozone exposure affect herbivore-induced plant volatile emissions differently in wild and cultivated plants?
Concentrations of tropospheric ozone have more than doubled in the Northern Hemisphere since pre-industrial times. Plant responses to single abiotic...

Medium-term interactive effects of herbivores and plant life form on the biochemistry of shallow sandy soils in a protected semi-arid savanna
Savannas are characterized by the co-occurrence of two different plant life forms: grasses and trees. Herbivory plays a major role in the balance...

Do changes in Lactuca sativa metabolic performance, induced by mycorrhizal symbionts and leaf UV-B irradiation, play a role towards tolerance to a polyphagous insect pest?
The increased ultraviolet radiation (UV) due to the altered stratospheric ozone leads to multiple plant physiological and biochemical adaptations,...

Herbivory Has a Major Influence on Structure and Condition of a Great Barrier Reef Subtropical Seagrass Meadow
Grazing by all members of an herbivore community can act to structure the ecosystems they feed on. The outcome of this grazing pressure on the plant...

Effect of herbivore stress on transgene behaviour in maize crosses with different genetic backgrounds: cry1Ab transgene transcription, insecticidal protein expression and bioactivity against insect pests
BackgroundDecades after their first commercial release, many theoretical assumptions are still taken for granted in the deployment of genetically...

Trees and Insects Have Microbiomes: Consequences for Forest Health and Management
Purpose of ReviewForest research has shown for a long time that microorganisms influence tree-insect interactions, but the complexity of microbial...

Tree Communication: the Effects of “Wired” and “Wireless” Channels on Interactions with Herbivores
Purpose of ReviewApproximately 40 years ago, key papers indicating that volatile chemicals released by damaged plants elicited defense-related...

Effects of herbivory, fire, and vegetation type on soil compaction and aggregate stability in a semi-arid savanna
Vegetation type is an important component of savannas contributing to changes in soil health. In savanna landscapes, the tree-grass balance is...

Secondary metabolites responses of plants exposed to ozone: an update
Tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) is a secondary pollutant that causes oxidative stress in plants due to the generation of excess reactive oxygen species...

Changes in biodiversity impact atmospheric chemistry and climate through plant volatiles and particles
Climate extremes in tandem with biodiversity change affect plant emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds, as a result, the formation of...

Kin recognition benefits clonal offspring performance of historically grazed Leymus chinensis: insights for grassland management
BackgroundIndividual plants can identify their neighbors and adjust their biomass investment to avoid competing with their relatives or jointly cope...

Exploring spatiotemporal dynamics of flower visitor association pattern on two Avicennia mangroves: a network approach
Plant-flower visitor interaction is one of the most important relationships regarding the co-existence of the floral and faunal communities. The...

Cadmium contamination triggers negative bottom-up effects on the growth and reproduction of Frankliniella occidentalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) without disrupting the foraging behavior of its predator, Orius sauteri (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae)
Heavy metal contaminants may influence tri-trophic interactions among plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies and affect the results of pest...
