Effects of pyric herbivory on prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus spp) habitat.
PLoS ONE, 2020 The reduction and simplification of grasslands has led to the decline of numerous species of grassland fauna, particularly grassland-obligate birds.

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Current theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions, particularly herbivory, decreases with increasing latitude and elevation. However, recent studies have revealed substantial variation in both the latitudinal and elevational patterns of ...

Scientific Reports, 2021 The hypothesis of the present study is that not only distributions of leaf photosynthetic traits and shoot growth along light gradient within a canopy of forest trees, but also that of leaf anti-herbivory defence capacities are influenced by soil ...

Insect herbivory increases from forest to alpine tundra in Arctic mountains
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Current theory holds that the intensity of biotic interactions decreases with increases in latitude and elevation; however, empirical data demonstrate great variation in the direction, strength, and shape of elevational changes in herbivory.

Resistance and susceptibility of milkweed: competition, root herbivory, and plant genetic variation [PDF]
, 2004 Beetles in the genus Tetraopes share a long evolutionary history with milkweeds (Asclepias spp.), feeding on roots as larvae and leaves as adults. Despite their extreme specialization on milkweed, Tetraopes require drying grass stems as oviposition sites,

Transgenerational Consequences of Plant Responses to Herbivory: An Adaptive Maternal Effect [PDF]
, 2000 Herbivory has many effects on plants, ranging from shifts in primary processes such as photosynthesis, growth, and phenology to effects on defense against subsequent herbivores and other species interactions.

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

, 2021 Most terrestrial plants form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, which are soil-dwelling microbial symbionts that provide plants with soil nutrients, while plants supply the fungi with carbon.
