Influence of light availability and soil productivity on insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) leaves following mammalian herbivory.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Vegetative parts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) are important forage for many boreal forest mammal, bird and insect species. Plant palatability to insects is affected by concentration of nutrients and defense compounds in plants.

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]

, 2011
The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

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).

Impacts of belowground herbivory on oviposition decisions in two congeneric butterfly species [PDF]

, 2010
Root-feeding insects can affect the performance of aboveground insect herbivores when they are forced to feed on the same host plant. Here we explored whether the oviposition behaviour of two closely related herbivorous species (cabbage butterflies ...

Prey and Non-prey Arthropods Sharing a Host Plant: Effects on Induced Volatile Emission and Predator Attraction [PDF]

, 2008
It is well established that plants infested with a single herbivore species can attract specific natural enemies through the emission of herbivore-induced volatiles.

When ‘Higher’ means ‘Hungrier’: Climate and population trait differences drive increased insect herbivory with elevation in a perennial subalpine wildflower

Climate Change Ecology, 2021
Because short growing seasons severely constrain plant growth and biomass accumulation in high elevation habitats, herbivory can profoundly impact both individual fitness and community dynamics in these settings.

Love thy neighbor? Reciprocal impacts between plant community structure and insect herbivory in co-occurring Asteraceae [PDF]

, 2014
Patterns of herbivory may vary with fine?scale plant community structure: the degree of damage plants experience may depend on their neighbors (i.e., associational resistance or susceptibility).

Insight into the genetic components of community genetics: QTL mapping of insect association in a fast-growing forest tree [PDF]

, 2013
Identifying genetic sequences underlying insect associations on forest trees will improve the understanding of community genetics on a broad scale. We tested for genomic regions associated with insects in hybrid poplar using quantitative trait loci (QTL)

The importance of sampling standardization for comparisons of insect herbivory in deep time: a case study from the late Palaeozoic [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Sampling standardization has not been fully addressed for the study of insect herbivory in the fossil record. The effects of sampling within a single locality were explored almost a decade ago, but the importance of sampling standardization for ...

Performance of generalist and specialist herbivores and their endoparasitoids differs on cultivated and wild Brassica populations [PDF]

, 2008
Through artificial selection, domesticated plants often contain modified levels of primary and secondary metabolites compared to their wild progenitors.
