The effect of insect herbivory on the growth and fitness of introduced Verbascum thapsus L. [PDF]
, 2013 A majority of the plant species that are introduced into new ranges either do not become established, or become naturalized yet do not attain high densities and are thus considered ecologically and economically unproblematic. The factors that limit these

Flowers through insect eyes: the contribution of pollinator vision to the evolution of flower colour [PDF]
, 2010 PhDFlowers’ colours are an essential element of their ability to attract visits from pollinators. However, the colours as they appear to human observers can differ substantially from their appearance to insect pollinators, and so it is essential to ...

Inhibition of lipoxygenase affects induction of both direct and indirect plant defences against herbivorous insects [PDF]
, 2009 Herbivore-induced plant defences influence the behaviour of insects associated with the plant. For biting–chewing herbivores the octadecanoid signal-transduction pathway has been suggested to play a key role in induced plant defence.

Insect Odorscapes: From Plant Volatiles to Natural Olfactory Scenes
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Olfaction is an essential sensory modality for insects and their olfactory environment is mostly made up of plant-emitted volatiles. The terrestrial vegetation produces an amazing diversity of volatile compounds, which are then transported, mixed, and ...
