Effects of insect herbivory and changing climate on biogenic volatile organic compound emissions in the Arctic [PDF]

, 2021
Insect herbivory is a significant source of plant stress and, due to climate change, the herbivory stress is continuously increasing. In response to herbivory, plants produce specialized metabolites to fulfil physiological and ecological functions.

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Foliar Morphoanatomical and Phytochemical Variations Shape Resistance to Key Insect Herbivores and Leaf Quality in Cyclocarya paliurus

Plants
To reveal the effects of genotype–herbivore interactions on leaf quality, foliar variations in phytochemicals, morphoanatomy, and herbivory damage ratio were investigated in a Cyclocarya paliurus (Batalin) Iljinsk. (Juglandaceae) germplasm resources bank.

Bioassays to Investigate the Effects of Insect Oviposition on a Plant’s Resistance to Herbivores

Bio-Protocol, 2016
Plants respond to herbivory with diverse defence responses (Schoonhoven et al., 2005). Many herbivorous insects deposit their eggs on their host plants before their larvae start to feed.

Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Interacting effects of insect and ungulate herbivory on Scots pine growth

Scientific Reports, 2020
Most plants are subjected to damage from multiple species of herbivores, and the combined impact on plant growth can be non-additive. Since plant response to herbivores tends to be species specific, and change with repeated damage, the outcome likely ...

The effect of tree genetic diversity on insect herbivory varies with insect abundance [PDF]

, 2017
Variance in edibility among plant genotypes is expected to be a key driver of plant genetic diversity (PGD) effects on abundance of insect herbivores and resulting herbivory.

Nocturnal neighbors: exploring residents' perceptions of urban wildlife related to animal traits identified by camera traps and literature

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife in urban areas is often a source of conflict, yet relatively few efforts have been directed toward fostering coexistence in these human‐dominated landscapes. While previous research has focused on socio‐demographic factors influencing perceptions of wildlife, the role of specific animal traits in shaping acceptance remains underexplored.

Insect herbivory response to Populus nigra genetic diversity [PDF]

, 2010
Recent research suggests that genetic diversity in tree population may shape associated species assemblages and then drive ecosystem processes. Trees can support large numbers of insect species and some functional traits of trees have been shown to have ...

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...
