Climate warming promotes pesticide resistance through expanding overwintering range of a global pest
Nature Communications, 2021 Climate-driven range shifts may affect pesticide resistance. Here, the authors analyse experimentally parameterised and field-tested models to show that a cosmopolitan insect pest, the diamondback moth, is acquiring resistance against local pesticides ...

Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control [PDF]
, 2010 The use of flowering field margins is often proposed as a method to support biological control in agro-ecosystems. In addition to beneficial insects, many herbivores depend on floral food as well.

Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]
, 2009 The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

Herbivore-specific, density-dependent induction of plant volatiles: honest or "cry wolf" signals? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Plants release volatile chemicals upon attack by herbivorous arthropods. They do so commonly in a dose-dependent manner: the more herbivores, the more volatiles released.

Selenium-Tolerant Diamondback Moth Disarms Hyperaccumulator Plant Defense [PDF]
Current Biology, 2006 Some plants hyperaccumulate the toxic element selenium (Se) to extreme levels, up to 1% of dry weight. The function of this intriguing phenomenon is obscure.Here, we show that the Se in the hyperaccumulator prince's plume (Stanleya pinnata) protects it from caterpillar herbivory because of deterrence and toxicity.
