Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda Smith) feeding elicits differential defense responses in upland and lowland switchgrass [PDF]

, 2019
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a low input, high biomass perennial grass being developed for the bioenergy sector. Upland and lowland cultivars can differ in their responses to insect herbivory.

Insect and plant traits drive local and landscape effects on herbivory in grassland fragments

Ecosphere, 2019
Herbivory is one of the most important antagonistic insect–plant interactions and can be influenced by factors at local and landscape scales. Landscape fragmentation may reduce herbivory directly (i.e., decreasing abundance and species richness of ...

Insect-induced daidzein, formononetin and their conjugates in soybean leaves. [PDF]

, 2014
In response to attack by bacterial pathogens, soybean (Gylcine max) leaves accumulate isoflavone aglucones, isoflavone glucosides, and glyceollins. In contrast to pathogens, the dynamics of related insect-inducible metabolites in soybean leaves remain ...

Herbivory in the marine realm [PDF]

Current Biology, 2017
Herbivory occurs when animals consume plants; but the term hides two fundamentally different processes. One relates to the animal's nutrition, the other to the plant's survival and abundance. Both are central to the ecological process called herbivory.

The effect of temperature, soil nitrogen and gastropods on _Thuja plicata_ growth and reproduction [PDF]

, 2010
Humans are changing the environment. For example, nitrogen deposition, rising temperatures, and non-native species are influencing plant communities. These changes have and will continue to affect trees, thus, understanding the response of species to ...

Effects of experimental watering but not warming on herbivory vary across a gradient of precipitation

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Climate change can affect biotic interactions, and the impacts of climate on biotic interactions may vary across climate gradients. Climate affects biotic interactions through multiple drivers, although few studies have investigated multiple climate ...

Elevational changes in insect herbivory on woody plants in six mountain ranges of temperate Eurasia: Sources of variation

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 ...

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.

Above- and belowground herbivory jointly impact defense and seed dispersal traits in Taraxacum officinale [PDF]

, 2014
Plants are able to cope with herbivores by inducing defensive traits or growth responses that allow them to reduce or avoid the impact of herbivores. Since above- and belowground herbivores differ substantially in life-history traits, for example feeding
