Cues for shelter use in a phytophagous insect [PDF]

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2008
Many insects spend a large proportion of their life inactive, often hiding in shelters. The presence of shelters may, therefore, influence where insects feed.

Alpine Grassland Ecological Restoration Approaches Shape Insect Trophic Guild Diversity: A Multi-Dimensional Assessment from Alpha to Dark Diversity [PDF]

Insects
The 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

Plant nutrient supply determines competition between phytophagous insects [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011
Indirect competition is often mediated by plant responses to herbivore feeding damage and is common among phytophagous insect species. Plant-mediated responses may be altered by abiotic conditions such as nutrient supply, which can affect plant growth, morphology, and the concentration of primary and secondary metabolites.

Plant lectins as defense proteins against phytophagous insects.

Phytochemistry, 2011
One of the most important direct defense responses in plants against the attack by phytophagous insects is the production of insecticidal peptides or proteins. One particular class of entomotoxic proteins present in many plant species is the group of carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins.

Distribution pattern of arthropods on the leaf surfaces of Acacia auriculiformis saplings

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. Ex Benth. (Fabaceae), a non-native pioneer species in Brazil with fast growth and rusticity, is used in restoration programs.

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.

Testing Host-Plant Driven Speciation in Phytophagous Insects: A Phylogenetic Perspective [PDF]

, 2019
During the last two decades, ecological speciation has been a major research theme in evolutionary biology. Ecological speciation occurs when reproductive isolation between populations evolves as a result of niche differentiation.
