Global insect herbivory and its response to climate change
Current BiologyHerbivorous insects consume a large proportion of the energy flow in terrestrial ecosystems and play a major role in the dynamics of plant populations and communities. However, high-resolution, quantitative predictions of the global patterns of insect herbivory and their potential underlying drivers remain elusive.

Insect herbivory on C3 and C4 grasses
Oecologia, 1978This study tested the hypothesis that grasses with the C4 photosynthetic pathway are avoided as a food source by insect herbivores in natural communities. Insects were sampled from ten pairs of C3-C4 grasses and their distributions analyzed by paired comparisons tests.

Insect adaptations to herbivory
1982Before feeding or oviposition any herbivorous insect is faced with the problem of locating its host plant both in space and time. It must be able to select its particular food plant(s) from amongst the complex array of available species and it must ensure that its period of feeding activity coincides with periods of plant availability.

Insect herbivory in ecosystems
1982Whole ecosystem studies are complex and time consuming and it is not feasible to study every organism. Ecologists have usually concentrated on the apparently dominant groups of insect herbivores feeding on the dominant plant species. Often whole insect groups, particularly the sapsucking fauna, have been ignored.

Insect herbivory in Gondwana plants
Journal of Palaeosciences, 2016Plant–insect interaction is dominant in the extant flora and it is estimated that more than one million species of insects directly or indirectly survive on plants. In comparison, such association is limited in extinct flora, mainly due to problem in identifying structural features associated with the insect wronged plant fossils. Concerted efforts and

Insect herbivory on mangrove leaves in North Queensland*
Australian Journal of Ecology, 1987AbstractEstimates of leaf damage by insect herbivores are presented for 25 species of mangrove plants, comprising canopy and understorey species. Leaf area loss was highly variable among the species sampled, with means ranging from 0.3 to 35.0% of expanded leaf area.

Effects of tree diversity on insect herbivory
Journal of Forestry Research, 2021Tree diversity has long been considered a key driver of insect herbivory in forest ecosystems. However, studies have given contradictory results: increased tree diversity can have positive, negative or neutral effects on insect herbivory. Since many issues can complicate the tree-herbivore interactions, the descriptor ‘tree diversity’ per se actually ...

Wound and insect herbivory responsive genes in poplar
Biotechnology Letters, 2006Insect herbivory leads to induced resistance to subsequent infestations in plants. This is due in part to feeding-induced expression of genes that can lead to reduced palatability and/or digestibility of the plant material. We identified 57 distinct differentially expressed genes from poplars that were either infested by gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar ...

Significance of phototoxic phytochemicals in insect herbivory
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1986The significance of the wide range of phototoxins, occurring in many plant species, with respect to their role in insect herbivory and on insects, is not fully understood. The types of compounds include polyacetylenes, quinones, furanocoumarins, tryptophan- and tyrosine-derived alkaloids and are distributed throughout some of the major families of ...
