Small-Scale Habitat Conditions Are More Important Than Site Context for Influencing Pollinator Visitation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The ability of insects to persist in urban greenspace depends on their ability to usefully interact with available plant resources. Greenspace design influences plant–insect interactions by: (1) limiting the plant-species pool available for interaction ...

Microbial Influence on Plant-Insect Interaction

, 2021
Plants and insects live in a microbial world, and the co-existence have shaped their ecology and evolution. These microbial allies play an essential role in the health, well-being, and vigor of their hosts and are often considered as “hidden players” in ...

Modelling lifestyle changes in Insect endosymbionts, from insect mutualist to plant pathogen [PDF]

, 2020
Several insect endosymbionts have evolved to become plant pathogens, but the causes of this transition are currently unknown. In this paper, we use adaptive dynamics to develop hypotheses to explain why an insect endosymbiont would evolve to become a ...

Chemical interaction between undamaged plants [PDF]

, 2011
Most research on plant–plant chemical interactions has focussed on events following herbivore or pathogen attack. However, undamaged plants also interact chemically as a natural facet of their behaviour, and this may have consequences for insects that ...

Insecticide activity of a peptidase inhibitor isolated from Anadenanthera macrocarpa seeds against Anagasta kuehniella

Ciência e Agrotecnologia, 2022
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are a part of the plant defense system and reduce the proteolytic activity of the digestive enzymes of insect pests. The current study aimed to isolate and characterize an inhibitor of trypsin (AmTI) within the seed of ...

Herbivory by a phloem-feeding insect inhibits floral volatile production [PDF]

, 2012
There is extensive knowledge on the effects of insect herbivory on volatile emission from vegetative tissue, but little is known about its impact on floral volatiles.

Historical records of plant-insect interactions in subarctic Finland

BMC Research Notes, 2022
Objectives Historical ecological records document the diversity and composition of communities decades or centuries ago. They can provide a valuable benchmark for comparisons with modern communities. Historical datasets on plant-animal interactions allow

Insect Feeding Assays with Spodoptera exigua on Arabidopsis thaliana

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Plant-insect interaction is an important field for studying plant immunity. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the best-known agricultural pest insects and is usually used to study plant interactions with chewing insects. Here, we describe a

Metabolic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores [PDF]

, 2008
Insect herbivores by necessity have to deal with a large arsenal of plant defence metabolites. The levels of defence compounds may be increased by insect damage.
