Foliar Herbivory Reduces Rhizosphere Fungal Diversity and Destabilizes the Co-occurrence Network

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Insect herbivores can adversely impact terrestrial plants throughout ontogeny and across various ecosystems. Simultaneously, the effects of foliar herbivory may extend belowground, to the soil microbial community.

Low-intensity insect herbivory could have large effects on ecosystem productivity through reduced canopy photosynthesis [PDF]

Web Ecology
Our current understanding of the effect of insect herbivory on ecosystem productivity is limited. Previous studies have typically quantified only the amount of leaf area loss or have been conducted during outbreak years when levels of herbivory are much ...

Variable effects of temperature on insect herbivory

PeerJ, 2014
Rising temperatures can influence the top-down control of plant biomass by increasing herbivore metabolic demands. Unfortunately, we know relatively little about the effects of temperature on herbivory rates for most insect herbivores in a given community.

Simulating evolutionary responses of an introgressed insect resistance trait for ecological effect assessment of transgene flow: a model for supporting informed decisionmaking in environmental risk assessment [PDF]

, 2013
Predicting outcomes of transgene flow from arable crops requires a system perspective that considers ecological and evolutionary processes within a landscape context.

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]

, 2008
Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.

The role of leaf traits and bird-mediated insect predation on patterns of herbivory in a semiarid environment in central Mexico

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2017
Background. In arid environments plants face aridity and herbivory, therefore it has been proposed that both are convergent selective forces. However the drivers of insect herbivory in these ecosystems remain poorly understood. Question.

A comparative study of plant volatiles induced by insect and gastropod herbivory

Scientific Reports, 2021
Insect and gastropod herbivores are major plant consumers and their importance in the evolution of plant defensive traits is broadly recognized. However, their respective effects on plant responses have rarely been compared.

Potential of Quercetin to Reduce Herbivory without Disrupting Natural Enemies and Pollinators

Agriculture, 2021
Quercetin is one of the most abundant flavonoids in terrestrial plants and pollen. In living plants, quercetin can function as a secondary metabolite to discourage insect herbivory.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The invasive leafminer Phthorimaea absoluta uniquely manipulates plant defenses by inducing stomatal opening in tomato. This response, mediated by the stomatal regulator IQM1, enhances the release of the repellent volatile benzaldehyde. This volatile triggers the dispersal of adult moths, facilitates colonization of new hosts, and leads to rapid ...
