Birds exploit herbivore‐induced plant volatiles to locate herbivorous prey [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2013
Abstract Arthropod herbivory induces plant volatiles that can be used by natural enemies of the herbivores to find their prey. This has been studied mainly for arthropods that prey upon or parasitise herbivorous arthropods but rarely for insectivorous birds, one of the main groups of predators of herbivorous ...

Differential effects of jasmonic acid treatment of Brassica nigra on the attraction of pollinators, parasitoids, and butterflies [PDF]

, 2008
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of herbivores as well as that of their natural enemies. Jasmonic acid is one of the key hormones involved in both these direct and indirect induced defences.

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.

Inhibition of lipoxygenase affects induction of both direct and indirect plant defences against herbivorous insects [PDF]

, 2009
Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of insects associated with the plant. For biting–chewing herbivores the octadecanoid signal-transduction pathway has been suggested to play a key role in induced plant defence.

Monitoring large herbivore diversity at different scales: comparing direct and indirect methods [PDF]

, 2009
Monitoring of large herbivores is central to research and management activities in many protected areas. Monitoring programs were originally developed to estimate (trends in) population sizes of individual species.

Intraspecific Variation in Plant Defense Alters Effects of Root Herbivores on Leaf Chemistry and Aboveground Herbivore Damage [PDF]

, 2008
Root herbivores can indirectly affect aboveground herbivores by altering the food quality of the plant. However, it is largely unknown whether plant genotypes differ in their response to root herbivores, leading to variable defensive phenotypes.

Insect herbivore communities colonising the flower-heads of Berkheya in South Africa and Carduoideae in Europe and California [PDF]

, 1989
Bibliography: leaves 231-233.One of the main purposes of this study was to determine whether general conclusions can be made about the association of insect herbivores with Berkheya and thistles and whether there are any 'rules' that have influenced the ...
