Multitrophic higher-order interactions modulate species persistence [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2021 Abstract There is growing recognition that interactions between species pairs are modified in a multispecies context by the density of a third species. However, how these higher-order interactions (HOIs) affect species persistence remains poorly understood.

Insects, 2022 Microbes have the potential to affect multitrophic plant–insect–predator interactions. We examined whether cotton plants treated with potentially beneficial fungi affect interactions between cotton aphids Aphis gossypii and predatory lady beetles ...

Sexual size and development time dimorphism in a parasitoid wasp: an exception to the rule?
European Journal of Entomology, 2003 Sexual dimorphisms in adult size (SSD) and development time (SDTD) occur in many groups of organisms. In insects, some of the best examples occur in parasitoid wasps where most studies report that females are larger than males but take longer to develop.

Biocontrol Traits Correlate With Resistance to Predation by Protists in Soil Pseudomonads
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Root-colonizing bacteria can support plant growth and help fend off pathogens. It is clear that such bacteria benefit from plant-derived carbon, but it remains ambiguous why they invest in plant-beneficial traits.

The Multiple Impacts of Tropical Forest Fragmentation on Arthropod Biodiversity and on their Patterns of Interactions with Host Plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Tropical rain forest fragmentation affects biotic interactions in distinct ways. Little is known, however, about how fragmentation affects animal trophic guilds and their patterns of interactions with host plants.

Loss of rare fish species from tropical floodplain food webs affects community structure and ecosystem multifunctionality in a mesocosm experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Experiments with realistic scenarios of species loss from multitrophic ecosystems may improve insight into how biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning.

Multitrophic interactions of entomopathogenic fungi in BioControl
BioControl, 2022 AbstractBiocontrol with hypocrealean entomopathogenic fungi (EF) is a key tool to develop Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs for the progressive replacement of synthetic chemical insecticides with more environmentally friendly pest control measures.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Ecosystem functioning and human well-being critically depend on numerous species interactions above- and belowground. However, unraveling the structure of multitrophic interaction webs at the ecosystem level is challenging for biodiverse ecosystems ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Plants are central to complex networks of multitrophic interactions. Increasing evidence suggests that beneficial microorganisms (BMs) may be used as plant biostimulants and pest biocontrol agents.
