A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at
population, community and ecosystem scales. Such attributes are typically described using …

Research on the ecological and evolutionary roles of phytochemicals has recently
progressed from studying single compounds to examining chemical diversity itself. A key …

Species richness in tropical forests is correlated with other dimensions of diversity, including
the diversity of plant–herbivore interactions and the phytochemical diversity that influences …

In natural product drug discovery, several strategies have emerged to highlight specifically
bioactive compound (s) within complex mixtures (fractions or crude extracts) using …

Plant secondary chemistry is known to be an important driver of plant–insect community
structure across ecological scales. Recently, the concept of phytochemical diversity (PD) has …

Foundational hypotheses addressing plant–insect codiversification and plant defense theory
typically assume a macroevolutionary pattern whereby closely related plants have similar …

A novel meroterpenoid cabagranin D was isolated with related neolignans cabagranins A–C
from the leaves of Piper cabagranum (Costa Rica). Cabagranins A–C represent the first …

In the Anthropocene, species loss is very well documented, but associated losses of genetic,
functional, and multidimensional diversity are not so clear. Interaction diversity and …

Identifying the interactions of functional, biotic, and abiotic factors that define plant–insect
communities has long been a goal of community ecologists. Metabolomics approaches …

Over evolutionary timescales, shifts in plant secondary chemistry may be associated with
patterns of diversification in associated arthropods. Although foundational hypotheses of …
