▪ Abstract Although predation has a lethal effect on prey, mature terrestrial plants are rarely
killed by herbivores, but herbivory can change plant allelochemistry, cell structure and …

Antagonistic interactions between insect herbivores and plants impose selection on plants to
defend themselves against these attackers. Although selection on plant defense traits has …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Traditionally, herbivorous insects are thought to exhibit enhanced performance and
outbreak dynamics on water‐stressed host plants due to induced changes in plant …

Although drought affects directly tree physiology and growth, the impact of secondary factors
(insect pests, pathogens and fire) is often greater than the impact of the original stress and …

We employed a combination of factorial experiments in the field and laboratory to investigate
the relative magnitude and degree of interaction of bottom‐up factors (two levels each of …

Induction of plant defences by early season herbivores can mediate interspecific herbivore
competition. We have investigated plant‐mediated competition between three herbivorous …

A plant's responses to attack from particular pathogens and herbivores may result in
resistance to subsequent attack from the same species, but may also affect different species …

Phytophagous insects have a much higher nitrogen and phosphorus content than their host
plants, an elemental mismatch that places inherent constraints on meeting nutritional …

The effects of early‐season herbivory and subsequent induced plant responses have the
potential to affect the diversity of herbivorous insect communities. We investigated the …
