Insect herbivory reshapes a native leaf microbiome. [PDF]

Nat Ecol Evol, 2020
AbstractInsect herbivory is pervasive in plant communities, but its impact on microbial plant colonizers is not well-studied in natural systems. By calibrating sequencing-based bacterial detection to absolute bacterial load, we find that the within-host abundance of most leaf microbiome (phyllosphere) taxa colonizing a native forb is amplified within ...

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 ...

Persistent inner tepals and wings protect developing seeds of Rheum nanum from insect herbivory in Central Asian cold deserts [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Although the postdispersal functions of diaspore (fruit and its appendages) have been reported, little is known about their protective/defensive functions.

The Impact of the Absence of Aliphatic Glucosinolates on Insect Herbivory in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2008
Aliphatic glucosinolates are compounds which occur in high concentrations in Arabidopsis thaliana and other Brassicaceae species. They are important for the resistance of the plant to pest insects.

Insect herbivory on urban trees: Complementary effects of tree neighbours and predation

Peer Community Journal, 2022
Insect herbivory is an important component of forest ecosystems functioning and can affect tree growth and survival. Tree diversity is known to influence insect herbivory in natural forest, with most studies reporting a decrease in herbivory with ...

Spider silk reduces insect herbivory [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2013
The role of predators in food webs extends beyond their ability to kill and consume prey. Such trait-mediated effects occur when signals of the predator influence the behaviour of other animals. Because all spiders are silk-producing carnivores, we hypothesized that silk alone would signal other arthropods and enhance non-lethal effects of spiders.

Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]

, 2020
Insect herbivores have the potential to change both physical and chemical traits of their host plant. Although the impacts of herbivores on their hosts have been widely studied, experiments assessing changes in multiple leaf traits or functions ...

Disentangling the Potato Tuber Moth-Induced Early-Defense Response by Simulated Herbivory in Potato Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plants rely on the perception of a multitude of herbivory-associated cues (HACs) to activate their defense response to insect herbivores. These stimuli are mainly derived from three functional components, namely, mechanical damage, insect-associated ...

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 ...

Aboveground herbivory does not affect mycorrhiza-dependent nitrogen acquisition from soil but inhibits mycorrhizal network-mediated nitrogen interplant transfer in maize

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are considered biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture due to their ability to facilitate plant uptake of important mineral elements, such as nitrogen (N).
