Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

Plant-lepidopteran interactions involve complex processes encompassing molecules and
regulators to counteract defense responses they develop against each other. Lepidoptera …

Background In nature, plants are frequently exposed to simultaneous biotic stresses that
activate distinct and often antagonistic defense signaling pathways. How plants integrate …

Natural enemies locate their herbivorous host and prey through kairomones emitted by host
plants and herbivores. These kairomones could be exploited to attract and retain natural …

In response to attack by herbivorous insects, plants produce semiochemicals for intra-and
interspecific communication. The perception of these semiochemicals by conspecifics of the …

Highlights•The arms race between parasitoids and hosts led to specific behavioral
adaptations.•The behavioral strategies can be traced to specific neuronal mechanisms.• …

Plants release a broad spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The composition of
the released VOC blend is dependent on the physiological status and, consequently, is …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are metabolites emitted by living plants that
have a fundamental ecological role since they influence atmospheric chemistry, plant …

Due to a growing demand of food production worldwide, new strategies are suggested to
allow for sustainable production of food with minimal effects on natural resources. A …

In plant–arthropod associations, the first herbivores to colonise a plant may directly or
indirectly affect community assembly on that particular plant. Whether the order of arrival of …
