Defense against natural enemies constitutes an important driver of herbivore host range
evolution in the wild. Populations of the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly, Euphydryas …

Incorporation of exotic plants into the diets of native herbivores is a common phenomenon,
influencing interactions with natural enemies and providing insight into the tritrophic costs …

The introduction of exotic plants, animals, and pathogens into non-native ecosystems can
have profound effects on native organisms. Plantago lanceolata, narrow-leaf or ribwort …

Some herbivorous insects sequester chemicals from their host plants, which can serve as a
defense against predators. However, sequestration can also be costly, impacting …

Plants play an important role in the interactions between insect herbivores and their
pathogens. Since the seminal review by Cory and Hoover (2006) on plant-mediated effects …

Interactions between insect herbivores and their pathogens can be modulated by host
plants. Inter-and intraspecific differences in plant chemistry and structure can alter the …

Understanding the interaction between host plant chemistry, the immune response, and
insect pathogens can shed light on host plant use by insect herbivores. In this study, we …

This chapter reviews how genetic variation within plant species affects the natural enemies
of herbivores in ecological time and explores the consequences of such variation on plant …

The introduction and/or spread of exotic organisms into new habitats is considered a major
threat to biodiversity. Invasive plants have been shown to negatively affect native …

Understanding the role of diversity in ecosystem processes and species interactions is a
central goal of ecology. For plant–herbivore interactions, it has been hypothesized that when …
