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.

Alpine Grassland Ecological Restoration Approaches Shape Insect Trophic Guild Diversity: A Multi-Dimensional Assessment from Alpha to Dark Diversity [PDF]
InsectsThe severe degradation of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau poses a significant threat to regional ecological security. While insects are critical for ecosystem functions, their responses to restoration measures in these fragile habitats are

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 ...

Exploring multitrophic interactions in oilseed rape fields reveals the prevailing role of Carabidae
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In cropped fields, birds are often at the highest position in the food chain, feeding on pest arthropods and their intermediate predators in a process known as intraguild predation.
