Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 1074-1087, April 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.
