Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Insects evolved adaptive plasticity to minimize the effects of the chemical defenses of their host plants. Nevertheless, the expressional response and adaptation of phytophagous specialists for long‐term adaption and short‐term response to host ...

Forest Insect—Plant Interactions
, 2023 AbstractInsects and plants dominate terrestrial ecosystems in terms of both species numbers and biomass. Ecological relationships between insects and plants are ubiquitous and insect-plant interactions are important for ecosystem structuring and functioning.

Insect Odorscapes: From Plant Volatiles to Natural Olfactory Scenes
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for insects and their olfactory environment is mostly made up of plant-emitted volatiles. The terrestrial vegetation produces an amazing diversity of volatile compounds, which are then transported, mixed, and ...

Ecological Genomics of Plant-Insect Interactions: The Case of Wasp-Induced Galls
, 2020 Plant-insect interactions are central to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics that shaped phenotypes and genotypes. Although the interaction between host plants and insect herbivores has been widely assessed, the molecular mechanisms behind it

Population-related variation in plant defense more strongly affects survival of an herbivore than its solitary parasitoid wasp [PDF]
, 2011 The performance of natural enemies, such as parasitoid wasps, is affected by differences in the quality of the host’s diet, frequently mediated by species or population-related differences in plant allelochemistry. Here, we compared survival, development

, 2013 Malgré leur rôle primordial dans les écosystèmes, les insectes, qui représentent les trois quarts des espèces animales identifiées, sont encore mal connus. Leur relation avec le règne végétal et l'espèce humaine, que ce soit comme compétiteurs au niveau des cultures ou comme auxiliaires, notamment par la pollinisation, revêt pourtant une importance ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants, plant viruses, and their vectors are co-evolving actors that co-exist and interact in nature. Insects are the most important vectors of plant viruses, serving as both carriers and hosts for the virus.

Constructing more informative plant-pollinator networks : visitation and pollen deposition networks in a heathland plant community [PDF]
, 2015 Interaction networks are widely used as tools to understand plant–pollinator communities, and to examine potential threats to plant diversity and food security if the ecosystem service provided by pollinating animals declines.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite their abundance and economic importance, the mechanism of plant resistance to sap-feeding insects remains poorly understood. Here we deploy meta-analysis and data synthesis methods to evaluate the results from electrophysiological studies ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
