Insect-flower interaction networks vary among endemic pollinator taxa over an elevation gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Interaction networks are sensitive to elevation gradients through changes in local distribution of interacting partners. Here, we use plant-pollinator interaction network metrics to assess the effect of elevation on flowers and flower-visiting insect ...

Plant–insect interaction patterns in the late Neogene palaeoforest of Chotanagpur Plateau, eastern India [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Plants and insects are essential components of terrestrial ecosystems and insect herbivory is the most important type of biotic interaction in these ecosystems alongside the role of insects as pollinators. Insect damaged fossil leaves are the only direct

Chemical Compounds and Bioactivity of Aqueous Extracts of Alibertia spp. in the Control of Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

open access: yesInsects, 2017
Successive applications of insecticides to control Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) have resulted in the emergence of resistant populations of this insect.

Ecological fits, mis-fits and lotteries involving insect herbivores on the invase plant, Bunias orientalis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Exotic plants bring with them traits that evolved elsewhere into their new ranges. These traits may make them unattractive or even toxic to native herbivores, or vice versa.

Ecological Genomics of Plant-Insect Interactions: The Case of Wasp-Induced Galls

open access: yes, 2020
Plant-insect interactions are central to understand ecological and evolutionary dynamics that shaped phenotypes and genotypes. Although the interaction between host plants and insect herbivores has been widely assessed, the molecular mechanisms behind it

Data_Sheet_1_Correlation of microbiomes in “plant-insect-soil” ecosystem.DOCX

open access: yes, 2023
IntroductionTraditional chemical control methods pose a damaging effect on farmland ecology, and their long-term use has led to the development of pest resistance.MethodsHere, we analyzed the correlations and differences in the microbiome present in the ...

Climate Change: Resetting Plant-Insect Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2012
Elevated CO2 and temperature are altering the interactions between plants and insects with important implications for food security and natural ecosystems. Ecologically, the acceleration of plant phenology by warming is generating mismatches between plants and insect pollinators.

Inhibition of lipoxygenase affects induction of both direct and indirect plant defences against herbivorous insects [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Physiological adaptations to sugar‐mimic alkaloids: Insights from Bombyx mori for long‐term adaption and short‐term response

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Insects evolved adaptive plasticity to minimize the effects of the chemical defenses of their host plants. Nevertheless, the expressional response and adaptation of phytophagous specialists for long‐term adaption and short‐term response to host ...

Insect Odorscapes: From Plant Volatiles to Natural Olfactory Scenes

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
