Foliar Herbivory Reduces Rhizosphere Fungal Diversity and Destabilizes the Co-occurrence Network

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Insect herbivores can adversely impact terrestrial plants throughout ontogeny and across various ecosystems. Simultaneously, the effects of foliar herbivory may extend belowground, to the soil microbial community.

Plant phylogenetic relatedness and herbivore specialization interact to determine pest biocontrol efficiency in mixed plantations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Pest herbivory regulation is one of the key functions provided by diverse ecosystems, especially when compared to species depauperate agro-ecosystems and in the context of increased pest outbreaks due to global change.

Simulated Herbivory Weakens Plant-Soil Feedbacks in Competitive Mixtures of Native and Invasive Woodland Plants

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Plant-soil feedback (PSF), the process by which plants influence con- or heterospecifics via alteration of abiotic or biotic soil properties, is a known driver of plant coexistence and invasion.

Herbivory by a phloem-feeding insect inhibits floral volatile production [PDF]

, 2012
There is extensive knowledge on the effects of insect herbivory on volatile emission from vegetative tissue, but little is known about its impact on floral volatiles.

Assessing invertebrate herbivory in human‐modified tropical forest canopies

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Studies on the effects of human‐driven forest disturbance usually focus on either biodiversity or carbon dynamics but much less is known about ecosystem processes that span different trophic levels.

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]

, 2011
The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

Insect herbivory on urban trees: Complementary effects of tree neighbours and predation

Peer Community Journal, 2022
Insect herbivory is an important component of forest ecosystems functioning and can affect tree growth and survival. Tree diversity is known to influence insect herbivory in natural forest, with most studies reporting a decrease in herbivory with ...

Disentangling the Potato Tuber Moth-Induced Early-Defense Response by Simulated Herbivory in Potato Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants rely on the perception of a multitude of herbivory-associated cues (HACs) to activate their defense response to insect herbivores. These stimuli are mainly derived from three functional components, namely, mechanical damage, insect-associated ...

Disentangling the effects of jasmonate and tissue loss on the sex allocation of an annual plant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Selection through pollinators plays a major role in the evolution of reproductive traits. However, herbivory can also induce changes in plant sexual expression and sexual systems, potentially influencing conditions governing transitions between sexual ...

Developing common protocols to measure tundra herbivory across spatial scales [PDF]

, 2021
Understanding and predicting large-scale ecological responses to global environmental change requires comparative studies across geographic scales with coordinated efforts and standardized methodologies.
