Long-term continuous mismatch between grazing cues and real grazing losses causes attenuation of induced morphological defense in Scenedesmus
For the freshwater phytoplankton Scenedesmus , morphological defense induced by infochemicals released from grazers (such as Daphnia ) is considered to...

Overview of Gray System Theory
Gray system theory is one part of the fields of control theory. It is the product of the viewpoint and method of cybernetics applied to social...

Plant–Fungus Interaction: A Stimulus–Response Theory
Plants are exposed to various severe constraints comprising damages caused by phytopathogens, which eventually lowers productivity. During...

Plant growth and defense traits in Sorghum bicolor’s response to Chilo partellus in the tropics
In order to meet the increasing demands from an exploding human population, sustainable agriculture relies on the availability of crop varieties with...

Perennials have evolved a greater resistance to exogenous H2O2 than annuals, consistent with the oxidative stress theory of aging
Accumulation of oxidative damage is a major contributor to aging; however, whether the capacity of cellular mechanisms that protect against oxidative...

Citrus Mealybug Performance and Plant Strata Preference on Different Coffee Varieties
The optimal defense theory stipulates that a plant prioritizes the defense of young tissue against herbivory, which may affect the spatial...

Is Human Aging a Form of Phenoptosis?
AbstractA much debated question is whether aging is the cumulative consequence of degenerative factors insufficiently opposed by natural selection,...

Marginal water use efficiencies of different plant functional types along an elevation gradient in subalpine regions
Stomata play a critical role in surface–atmosphere exchange by controlling the flux of water and CO 2 between the leaf and the atmosphere. However,...

Temperature Affects Chemical Defense in a Mite-Beetle Predator-Prey System
Temperature influences all biochemical and biophysiological processes within an organism. By extension, it also affects those ecological interactions...

Oxidation of biological molecules with age and induced oxidative stress in different growth phases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
One of the mechanistic approaches for explaining ageing is the oxidative stress theory of ageing. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used as a model...

Effects of predator novelty on intraguild predation communities with adaptive prey defense
Understanding coexistence within community modules such as intraguild predation (IGP), where an omnivore both preys on and competes with an...
