Changes in leaf chlorophyll content associated with flowering and its role in the diversity of phytophagous insects in a tree species from a semiarid Caatinga [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Phytophagous insects choose their feeding resources according to their own requirements, but their feeding preferences in the semiarid Caatinga have rarely been studied.

Interaction of phytophagous insects with Salmonella enterica on plants and enhanced persistence of the pathogen with Macrosteles quadrilineatus infestation or Frankliniella occidentalis feeding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recently, most foodborne illness outbreaks of salmonellosis have been caused by consumption of contaminated fresh produce. Yet, the mechanisms that allow the human pathogen Salmonella enterica to contaminate and grow in plant environments remain poorly ...

The effects of mycorrhizal colonization on phytophagous insects and their natural enemies in soybean fields. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 The use of belowground microorganisms in agriculture, with the aim to stimulate plant growth and improve crop yields, has recently gained interest. However, few studies have examined the effects of microorganism inoculation on higher trophic levels in ...

Plant Perception and Short-Term Responses to Phytophagous Insects and Mites. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2018 Plant–pest relationships involve complex processes encompassing a network of molecules, signals, and regulators for overcoming defenses they develop against each other. Phytophagous arthropods identify plants mainly as a source of food.

Host Specialization in Phytophagous Insects
Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1990 Insects are by far the most diverse group of organisms on Earth; estimates of their current diversity range as high as 30 million species (58). A large fraction of these species feed on plants (154, 214), and Mitter et al (134) have shown that plant ...

Phytoplasma Infection of Cranberries Benefits Non-vector Phytophagous Insects
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Despite increasing knowledge about the impacts of pathogens on the interactions between plants and insect vectors, relatively little is known about their effects on other, non-vector, organisms.

Gut Symbiont-Driven Adaptive Evolution of Herbivorous Insect–Plant Interactions and Its Ecological Implications [PDF]
PlantsThe interaction between plants and phytophagous insects is one of the most complex relationships in ecosystems. By acting as direct third-party participants, gut symbionts redefine this binary antagonistic relationship.
