Interactive effects of plant neighbourhood and ontogeny on insect herbivory and plant defensive traits

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Plant ontogenetic stage and features of surrounding plant neighbourhoods can strongly influence herbivory and defences on focal plants. However, the effects of both factors have been assessed independently in previous studies.

Stem herbivory meta-analysis

open access: yes, 2014
Studies of insect herbivory have mostly focused on leaf-feeding even though most woody plant biomass is stem tissue. Attack to stems has the potential to be more detrimental to plant performance than attack to leaves.

Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry leaves following mammalian herbivory.

open access: yes, 2020
Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) leaves, growing at low, intermediate and high soil productivity levels, as a function of previous mammalian herbivory in 2014, under conditions of (a) low, (b) intermediate and (c) high shade ...

Transport engineering as a strategy to realize rapeseed's potential as a protein‐rich food

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The heavily pesticide‐dependent rapeseed is an under‐utilized protein source for food owing to anti‐nutritional glucosinolates. Transport engineering technology may reduce glucosinolates in seeds while increasing defense in vegetative parts. Abstract Rapeseed is the world's second‐largest oilseed crop, and the low‐value press cake that remains after ...

Herbivory resistance and leaf nutritional quality of hybrid poplar (Populus deltoides × petrowskyana) × petrowskyana exposed to salinity and Orgyia leucostigma

open access: yes
When plants encounter salinity and herbivory simultaneously, these stress factors may interact synergistically or antagonistically due, among other things, to crosstalk between signaling pathways involved in the response to each factor.

Field investigation of glucosinolates and morphological traits in mitigating Psylliodes chrysocephala larval infestation through crop varieties and companion planting

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Genotype and cropping system influenced oilseed rape ecophysiological traits, including glucosinolate compounds (glucoraphanin, glucobrassicanapin, and butyl‐glucosinolates) and biomass, which were linked to Psylliodes chrysocephala larval infestation, with varietal effects stronger than faba bean companion planting.

Forb diversity globally is harmed by nutrient enrichment but can be rescued by large mammalian herbivory

open access: yes
Forbs (“wildflowers”) are important contributors to grassland biodiversity and services, but they are vulnerable to environmental changes that affect their coexistence with grasses.

Differential coping capacities underlie the overall resistance of temperate seagrasses to herbivory

open access: yesEcosphere
Grazing can impart long‐lasting changes in vegetated ecosystems. How ecosystems respond to herbivory depends on the ecological and evolutionary histories of their foundational species.

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...
