Animal–Plant Interactions Under Defaunation: Consequences for Amazonian Trees of Commercial Interest

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally investigated the effects of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal defaunation on the removal and fate of seeds from economically important forest species in Amazonian forests. Our results show that mammal exclusion significantly reduced seed removal, although the magnitude of this effect varied among plant species.

Addressing Gaps in Butterfly Population Monitoring to Catalyze Global Insect Conservation

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT The conservation community sorely lacks a global indicator of change in insect populations. Given widespread insect declines, addressing this gap is key for conservation and policy targets. We suggest that butterfly monitoring programs can serve as the foundation for an effective global network of insect monitoring.

Beauveria Bassiana Triggers Soybean Systemic Resistance and Causes Sublethal Effects in Spodoptera frugiperda

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 236-250, March 2026.
The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

Insect herbivory fluctuations through geological time

Ecology, 2016
AbstractArthropods and land plants are the major macroscopic sources of biodiversity on the planet. Knowledge of the organization and specialization of plant–herbivore interactions, such as their roles in food webs is important for understanding the processes for maintaining biodiversity.

Insect herbivory in Gondwana plants

Journal of Palaeosciences, 2016
Plant–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 in ecosystems

1982
Whole 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 adaptations to herbivory

1982
Before 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.
