PlantsHerbivory reflects the interaction between plants and insects in ecosystems, and its latitudinal patterns at the global scale have attracted widespread attention.

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.

Gut microbiota as a trigger of accelerated directional adaptive evolution. Acquisition of herbivory in the context of extracellular vesicles, microRNAs and inter-kingdom crosstalk [PDF]
, 2017 According to a traditional view, the specific diet in vertebrates is one of the key factors structuring the composition of the gut microbiota. In this interpretation, the microbiota assumes a subordinate position, where the larger host shapes, through ...

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 ...

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.

AM fungal colonization minimizes disease damage on tomato during later life stages while delaying fruit development [PDF]
, 2020 Beneficial soil microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, can help prepare plants for defense through a mechanism known as priming. Two of the most important unresolved questions in the field of AM fungal-mediated plant defense are (1) whether

A century of tree line changes in sub-Arctic Sweden shows local and regional variability and only a minor influence of 20th century climate warming [PDF]
, 2011 Aim Models project that climate warming will cause the tree line to move to higher elevations in alpine areas and more northerly latitudes in Arctic environments.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study constructed the first spatiotemporal multi‐omics map of peach fruit and discovered a key candidate gene that synergistically regulates trichome development and drought tolerance through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, providing insights into the coupling mechanism between development and stress resistance.

The 'Herbivory Uncertainty Principle': application in a cerrado site
Brazilian Journal of BiologyResearchers may alter the ecology of their studied organisms, even carrying out apparently beneficial activities, as in herbivory studies, when they may alter herbivory damage.

Differential responses of herbivores and herbivory to management in temperate European beech.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Forest management not only affects biodiversity but also might alter ecosystem processes mediated by the organisms, i.e. herbivory the removal of plant biomass by plant-eating insects and other arthropod groups.
