Volatiles mediate the interaction of plants with pollinators, herbivores and their natural
enemies, other plants and micro‐organisms. With increasing knowledge about these …

Soil microorganisms with growth-promoting activities in plants, including rhizobacteria and
rhizofungi, can improve plant health in a variety of different ways. These beneficial microbes …

Plants release large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to
attackers. Several VOCs can serve as volatile signals to elicit defense responses in …

A vast body of research demonstrates that many ecological and evolutionary processes can
only be understood from a tri‐trophic viewpoint, that is, one that moves beyond the pairwise …

Disturbances associated with agricultural intensification reduce our ability to achieve
sustainable crop production. These disturbances stem from crop-management tactics and …

Living trees are the main source of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in forest
ecosystems, but substantial emissions originate from leaf and wood litter, the rhizosphere …

Air pollution has the potential to disrupt ecologically-and economically-beneficial services
provided by invertebrates, including pollination and natural pest regulation. To effectively …

The diverse ecology of parasitoids is shaped by extrinsic competition, ie, exploitative or
interference competition among adult females and males for hosts and mates. Adult females …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play important roles at cellular, foliar,
ecosystem and atmospheric levels. The Amazonian rainforest represents one of the major …
