The herbivore-induced plant volatile methyl salicylate negatively affects attraction of the parasitoid Diadegma semiclausum [PDF]
, 2010 The indirect defense mechanisms of plants comprise the production of herbivore-induced plant volatiles that can attract natural enemies of plant attackers. One of the often emitted compounds after herbivory is methyl salicylate (MeSA).

Heat tolerance variation reveals vulnerability of tropical herbivore–parasitoid interactions to climate change [PDF]
, 2022 Assessing the heat tolerance (CTmax) of organisms is central to understand the impact of climate change on biodiversity. While both environment and evolutionary history affect CTmax, it remains unclear how these factors and their interplay influence ...

Population-related variation in plant defense more strongly affects survival of an herbivore than its solitary parasitoid wasp [PDF]
, 2011 The performance of natural enemies, such as parasitoid wasps, is affected by differences in the quality of the host’s diet, frequently mediated by species or population-related differences in plant allelochemistry. Here, we compared survival, development

Season and herbivore defence trait mediate tri‐trophic interactions in tropical rainforest [PDF]
, 2022 Bottom-up effects from host plants and top-down effects from predators on herbivore abundance and distribution vary with physical environment, plant chemistry, predator and herbivore trait and diversity.

Plant defense and herbivore counter-defense: benzoxazinoids and insect herbivores [PDF]
Phytochemistry Reviews, 2016 Benzoxazinoids are a class of indole-derived plant chemical defenses comprising compounds with a 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one skeleton and their derivatives. These phytochemicals are widespread in grasses, including important cereal crops such as maize, wheat and rye, as well as a few dicot species, and display a wide range of antifeedant ...

Prey and Non-prey Arthropods Sharing a Host Plant: Effects on Induced Volatile Emission and Predator Attraction [PDF]
, 2008 It is well established that plants infested with a single herbivore species can attract specific natural enemies through the emission of herbivore-induced volatiles.

When is an herbivore not an herbivore? Detritivory facilitates herbivory in a freshwater system [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 AbstractHerbivory is thought to be an inefficient diet, but it independently evolved from carnivorous ancestors in many metazoan groups, suggesting that plant‐eating is adaptive in some circumstances. In this study, we tested two hypotheses to explain the adaptive evolution of herbivory: (i) the Heterotroph Facilitation hypothesis (herbivory is ...

Plant volatiles as regulators of plant defense and herbivore immunity: molecular mechanisms and unanswered questions [PDF]
, 2021 Plants release distinct blends of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) upon herbivore attack. HIPVs have long been known to influence the behavior of herbivores and natural enemies.
