Volatile phytochemicals as mosquito semiochemicals [PDF]
Phytochemistry Letters, 2014 Plant biochemical processes result in the release of an array of volatile chemical substances into the environment, some of which are known to play important plant fitness enhancing functions, such as attracting pollinators, thermal tolerance of photosynthesis, and defense against herbivores.

Do interactions between plant roots and the rhizosphere affect parasitoid behaviour? [PDF]
, 2004 Multitrophic interactions are powerful forces shaping the structure of living communities. Plants encounter a great diversity of organisms in their environment: some of these interactions are beneficial (e.g. symbiotic fungi and insect pollinators) while
