Beta diversity of plant–herbivore interactions is unaffected by urbanization levels in Brazilian Cerrado
Plant–herbivore interactions are pivotal in sha** terrestrial ecosystems, influencing plant populations and insect diversity; however, little is...

Introduction: Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Herbivore Interactions on Islands
Islands provide singular yet powerful natural settings for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses and have been particularly informative for...

Plant Defense Against Herbivore Attacks
Phytochemical defenses against herbivore attacksHerbivore attacks are either constitutive or induced. Constitutive defense secondary metabolites...

Effects of plant-beneficial fungi on plant growth and herbivore resistance under contrasting fertilizer conditions
AimsPlant-beneficial fungi play an important role in enhancing plant growth and protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. However,...

Temperature alters the toxicological impacts of plant terpenoids on the polyphagous model herbivore Vanessa cardui
Terpenes are a major class of secondary metabolites present in all plants, and long hypothesized to have diversified in response to specific...

Plant–herbivore–natural enemy trophic webs in date palm agro-ecosystems
Understanding the composition and dynamics of ecological communities is challenging because of the large number of organisms present and their...

Spatial and temporal variability in the structure of the multiple-herbivore community of horsenettle, and evidence for evolutionary responses in host-plant resistance
The geographic mosaic model of plant–herbivore coevolution asserts that interactions between a plant species and an herbivore species vary in...
-
Novel host plant use by a specialist insect depends on geographic variation in both the host and herbivore species
Understanding the circumstances under which insect herbivores will adopt a novel host plant is a longstanding question in basic and applied ecology....
-
Plant susceptibility to a shared herbivore is reduced by belowground competition with neighbors
Spatial variation in plant community composition is an important driver of variation in susceptibility to herbivores. In close proximity, certain...

Aridity, but not disturbance, reduces the specialization and modularity of plant–insect herbivore interaction networks in Caatinga dry forest
AbstractPlant–herbivore networks comprise over 40% of the global biodiversity and are negatively impacted by habitat loss and fragmentation. However,...

Impacts of Climatic Variability and Hurricanes on Caterpillar Diet Breadth and Plant-Herbivore Interaction Networks
Climatic variability and meteorological extreme events are known to impact insect and plant populations, ecological processes, and ecosystem...

Effects of neonicotinoid seed treatment on maize anti-herbivore defenses vary across plant genotypes
Neonicotinoid seed treatment (NST) is a routine practice used worldwide to control insect pests in a variety of crops, including maize ( Zea mays mays ...

Herbivore population dynamics in response to plant allocation strategies
When herbivores feed, plants may respond by altering the quantity of edible biomass available to future feeders through mechanisms such as...

Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated desensitization of glutamate receptors shapes plant systemic wound signalling and anti-herbivore defence
Plants rely on systemic signalling mechanisms to establish whole-body defence in response to insect and nematode attacks. GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE ( GLR ...

A de novo long-read genome assembly of the sacred datura plant (Datura wrightii) reveals a role of tandem gene duplications in the evolution of herbivore-defense response
The sacred datura plant (Solanales: Solanaceae: Datura wrightii ) has been used to study plant–herbivore interactions for decades. The wealth of...

Neighboring plants and core herbivores determine the importance of Swietenia macrophylla in the plant–herbivore network
Species contribute differently to the structure and stability of networks of interacting species. However, species contributions to the importance of...
