Applying machine learning to investigate long‐term insect–plant interactions preserved on digitized herbarium specimens

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2020
Premise Despite the economic significance of insect damage to plants (i.e., herbivory), long‐term data documenting changes in herbivory are limited. Millions of pressed plant specimens are now available online and can be used to collect big data on plant–

Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry leaves following mammalian herbivory.

, 2020
Predicted insect herbivory on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) leaves, growing at low, intermediate and high soil productivity levels, as a function of previous mammalian herbivory in 2014, under conditions of (a) low, (b) intermediate and (c) high shade ...

The Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase GhNTF3 Modulates the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis‐Immunity Trade‐Off in Cotton by Regulating Salicylic Acid Biosynthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AM symbiosis induces GhWAK13 to promote fungal colonization. GhNTF3 negatively regulates symbiosis by promoting SA biosynthesis. GhWAK13 sequesters GhNTF3 at the membrane, limiting its nuclear translocation and relieving SA‐mediated suppression. Under Verticillium stress, GhNTF3 enters the nucleus and interacts with GhJAZ6 to activate SA signaling ...

Insect herbivory dampens Subarctic birch forest C sink response to warming

Nature Communications, 2020
Warming is expected to increase C sink capacity in high-latitude ecosystems, but plant-herbivore interactions could moderate or offset this effect. Here, Silfver and colleagues test individual and interactive effects of warming and insect herbivory in a ...

Strong Interactive Effects of Warming and Insect Herbivory on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics at Subarctic Tree Line

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Warming will likely stimulate Arctic primary production, but also soil C and N mineralization, and it remains uncertain whether the Arctic will become a sink or a source for CO2.

An Effector TaCRVP From Tuta Absoluta Oral Secretion Impairs H2O2‐Mediated Plant Defense by Targeting Tomato SlCAT2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Tuta absoluta salivary effector TaCRVP subverts tomato immunity by hijacking host catalase SlCAT2. Through a sophisticated dual mechanism, TaCRVP simultaneously promotes SlCAT2 tetramerization for activation and blocks its SlAdBiL‐mediated degradation for stabilization.

Plant phylogenetic relatedness and herbivore specialization interact to determine pest biocontrol efficiency in mixed plantations

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Pest herbivory regulation is one of the key functions provided by diverse ecosystems, especially when compared to species depauperate agro-ecosystems and in the context of increased pest outbreaks due to global change.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Microsite availability, not floral herbivory, limits recruitment in peripheral native thistle populations

Ecosphere
Variation in insect herbivory can drive variation in plant fitness and population dynamics. However, our ability to predict the ecological contexts in which insect herbivores will reduce plant fitness or population growth is limited.

Forest loss increases foliar insect and pathogen damage on poplar trees in natural riparian forests

Frontiers in Plant Science
Landscape-scale forest loss threats biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, but its effect on insect herbivory and pathogen infection on trees is not well understood.
