Genetic Diversity Increases Insect Herbivory on Oak Saplings
PLoS ONE, 2012 A growing body of evidence from community genetics studies suggests that ecosystem functions supported by plant species richness can also be provided by genetic diversity within plant species. This is not yet true for the diversity-resistance relationship as it is still unclear whether damage by insect herbivores responds to genetic diversity in host ...

Plant Defense Against Herbivory and Insect Adaptations [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2018 هناك دائمًا حرب صامتة بين النباتات والحشرات العاشبة التي نادرًا ما نطلع عليها. في هذه الحرب الصامتة، تعمل المواد الكيميائية كأسلحة ورسل على حد سواء. يستمر التطور المشترك بين الحشرات والنباتات لملايين السنين. تبحث النباتات دائمًا عن استراتيجيات جديدة لتجنب الآفات الحشرية والحشرات، بدورها، تكون دائمًا على استعداد لتطوير تكيفات مضادة.

Aversion and attraction to harmful plant secondary compounds jointly shape the foraging ecology of a specialist herbivore. [PDF]
, 2016 Most herbivorous insect species are restricted to a narrow taxonomic range of host plant species. Herbivore species that feed on mustard plants and their relatives in the Brassicales have evolved highly efficient detoxification mechanisms that actually ...

Distribution of First Instar Gypsy Moths (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) Among Saplings of Four Tree Species Common in the Great Lakes Region [PDF]
, 2018 We examined the inter-tree distribution of first instar gypsy moth larvae under natural dispersal conditions in the field in Michigan in 1991. The study focused on saplings of northern red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), red maple (Acer rubrum),

Effects of elevated [CO2 ] on maize defence against mycotoxigenic Fusarium verticillioides. [PDF]
, 2014 Maize is by quantity the most important C4 cereal crop; however, future climate changes are expected to increase maize susceptibility to mycotoxigenic fungal pathogens and reduce productivity. While rising atmospheric [CO2 ] is a driving force behind the
