Root‐feeding insects can affect the performance of aboveground insect herbivores when
they are forced to feed on the same host plant. Here we explored whether the oviposition …

1. Herbivory can change plant quality, which may have consequences for interactions
between the inducing herbivore and other insect community members. 2. Studies …

The preference–performance hypothesis (PPH) states that herbivorous female insects prefer
to oviposit on those host plants that are best for their offspring. Yet, past attempts to show the …

When deciding where to oviposit, herbivorous insects consider:(i) the plant's value as a food
source,(ii) the risks of competing with con-and heterospecific herbivores, and (iii) the risks of …

Plants respond to insect herbivores with changes in physical and chemical traits, both locally
and systemically, in leaves and flowers. Such phenotypic changes may influence the …

Plant resistance to the feeding by herbivorous insects has recently been found to be
positively or negatively influenced by prior egg deposition. Here we show how crucial it is to …

This article attempts to explain that parasitoids provide the evolutionary pressure
responsible for relationships between habitat use and larval food plant use in herbivorous …

The effects of temporal variation in the quality of short-lived annual plants on oviposition
preference and larval performance of insect herbivores has thus far received little attention …

Plants have evolved a number of defences to ameliorate herbivore attacks including
chemicals induced by mechanical wounding. Such changes in plant chemical composition …

Although insect herbivory can modify subsequent quantity and quality of their host plants,
change in plant quantity following herbivory has received less attention than plant quality. In …
