Ethylene: A Modulator of the Phytohormone-Mediated Insect Herbivory Network in Plants [PDF]
InsectsPlants have evolved to establish insect herbivory defences by modulating their metabolism, growth, and development. Precise networks of phytohormones are essential to induce those herbivory defences.

Substantial Insect Herbivory in a South African Savanna‐Forest Mosaic: A Neglected Topic [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionInsect herbivory plays a crucial role in shaping plant communities in many terrestrial ecosystems. However, in African savannas, insect herbivory has been relatively understudied compared to large mammalian herbivory.

Weak latitudinal gradients in insect herbivory for dominant rangeland grasses of North America
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g., precipitation and soil ...

Herbivory increases diversification across insect clades [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractInsects contain more than half of all living species, but the causes of their remarkable diversity remain poorly understood. Many authors have suggested that herbivory has accelerated diversification in many insect clades. However, others have questioned the role of herbivory in insect diversification.

Insect Herbivory Strongly Modifies Mountain Birch Volatile Emissions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Insect herbivory is known to augment emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Yet few studies have quantified BVOC responses to insect herbivory in natural populations in pan-Arctic regions.

Volatile responses of dwarf birch to mimicked insect herbivory and experimental warming at two elevations in Greenlandic tundra [PDF]
Plant-Environment Interactions, 2023 Plants release a complex blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to stressors. VOC emissions vary between contrasting environments and increase with insect herbivory and rising temperatures.

A plant surface receptor for sensing insect herbivory. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Herbivory, the feeding on living plant parts by animals, is a fundamental ecosystem process affecting both global autotroph biomass production in natural habitats and crop production in agricultural settings (1). Invasions by herbivorous insects are an ancient threat to food security as evidenced, for example, by their inclusion as one of the 10 ...

Trichomes and unique gene expression confer insect herbivory resistance in Vitis labrusca grapevines [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Grapevine (Vitis) is one of the world’s most valuable fruit crops, but insect herbivory can decrease yields. Understanding insect herbivory resistance is critical to mitigating these losses.
