PLoS ONE, 2017 Heritable symbionts have been found to mediate interactions between host species and their natural enemies in a variety of organisms. Aphids, their facultative symbionts, and their potential fitness effects have been particularly well-studied.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2014 1. Aphids represent a significant challenge to food production. The Rothamsted Insect Survey (RIS) runs a network of 12·2-m suction-traps throughout the year to collect migrating aphids. In 2014, the RIS celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Soybean underpins Brazil's agricultural, yet its sustainability is threatened by lepidopteran pests such as Anticarsia gemmatalis. Although insect‐resistant cultivars have long been associated with the constitutive accumulation of quercetin‐derived flavonols, the biochemical mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly ...

Plant Physiology, 2014 Aphid-derived protein elicitors trigger distinct plant innate immune responses that are dependent on BAK1 and PAD3. The importance of pathogen-associated molecular pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) against microbial pathogens has been recently ...

Decomposer biomass in the rhizosphere to assess rhizodposition [PDF]
, 2007 Quantification of the organic carbon released from plant roots is a challenge. These compounds of rhizodeposition are quickly transformed into CO2 and eventually bacterial biomass to be consumed by bacterivores (protozoa and nematodes).

A Study of the Biology of \u3ci\u3eRhopalosiphum Padi\u3c/i\u3e (Homoptera: Aphididae) in Winter Wheat in Northwestern Indiana [PDF]
, 2017 Periodic collections of the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi, during two years revealed small populations on winter wheat in Lafayette, Indiana. The greatest numbers were found on volunteer wheat plants before planting.

Oikos, EarlyView.Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Plant and insect functional traits influence herbivore performance under climate change
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate change is expected to disrupt many trophic interactions, including those between insect herbivores and their host plants, which could have detrimental effects at the ecosystem level. However, the response of insect herbivory to climate change can vary widely across species, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying this variation is ...
