Plant–insect interactions are not just influenced by interactions between plants and the
actively feeding stages, but also by the close relationships between plants and insect eggs …

Iridoid was first isolated at the end of the 19th century. But, the principal structure of the
iridoid was identified in 1958 by Halpern and Schmid. Then, several scientific studies were …

In contrast to several organisms that have already shown range shifts to the north as a
response to climate change, southern populations of relict species are trapped in isolated …

Large plants are often more conspicuous and more attractive for associated animals than
small plants, eg due to their wider range of resources. Therefore, plant size can positively …

This study investigates complex effects of parasitoid infection on herbivore diet choice.
Specifically, we examine how immunological resistance, parasitoid infection stage, and …

The ability to cope with plant defense chemicals differs between specialist and generalist
species. In this study, we examined the effects of the concentration of the two main iridoid …

Plants often are exposed to antagonistic and symbiotic organisms both aboveground and
belowground. Interactions between above-and belowground organisms may occur either …

Many specialist herbivores have evolved strategies to cope with plant defences, with gut
microbiota potentially participating to such adaptations. In this study, we assessed whether …

1. Both the physiological efficiency (PE) hypothesis and the preference–performance (PP)
hypothesis address the complex interactions between herbivores and host plants, albeit …

Simple Summary Butterflies must not only identify host plants on which to lay their eggs—
which they achieve using chemical cues—but also select suitable leaves on that plant that …
