Plant defenses against herbivory: closing the fitness gap
M Erb - Trends in Plant Science, 2018 - cell.com
Many morphological and chemical features of plants are classified as plant defenses against
herbivores. By definition, plant defenses should increase a plant's fitness (ie, its contribution …

Foraging in the dark–chemically mediated host plant location by belowground insect herbivores
SN Johnson, UN Nielsen - Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2012 - Springer
Root-feeding insects are key components in many terrestrial ecosystems. Like shoot-feeding
insect herbivores, they exploit a range of chemical cues to locate host plants. Respiratory …

A specialist root herbivore exploits defensive metabolites to locate nutritious tissues
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 55–64 Abstract The most valuable organs of plants are often
particularly rich in essential elements, but also very well defended. This creates a dilemma …

A fungal endophyte helps plants to tolerate root herbivory through changes in gibberellin and jasmonate signaling
Plant–microbe mutualisms can improve plant defense, but the impact of root endophytes on
below‐ground herbivore interactions remains unknown. We investigated the effects of the …

Species-specific defence responses facilitate conspecifics and inhibit heterospecifics in above–belowground herbivore interactions
Conspecific and heterospecific aboveground and belowground herbivores often occur
together in nature and their interactions may determine community structure. Here we show …

A specialist root herbivore reduces plant resistance and uses an induced plant volatile to aggregate in a density‐dependent manner
Leaf‐herbivore attack often triggers induced resistance in plants. However, certain specialist
herbivores can also take advantage of the induced metabolic changes. In some cases, they …
