This review focuses on literature pertaining to the interactions of soil yeasts with biotic and
abiotic factors in their environment. Soil yeasts not only affect microbial and plant growth, but …

Many interactions between organisms are based on the emission and perception of
volatiles. The principle of using volatile metabolites as communication signals for chemo …

Plants mediate multiple interactions between below‐ground (BG) and above‐ground (AG)
heterotrophic communities that have no direct physical contact. These interactions can be …

Locating suitable feeding or oviposition sites is essential for insect survival. Understanding
how insects achieve this is crucial, not only for understanding the ecology and evolution of …

Wireworms, the soil-dwelling larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), comprise major
pests of several crops worldwide, including maize and potatoes. The current trend towards …

In response to herbivore attack, plants mobilize chemical defenses and release distinct
bouquets of volatiles. Aboveground herbivores are known to use changes in leaf volatile …

Plants influence the behavior of and modify community composition of soil-dwelling
organisms through the exudation of organic molecules. Given the chemical complexity of the …

In an effort to protect field corn (Zea mays L.) from wireworm (Agriotes obscurus L.) herbivory
and yield loss, seeds were treated with conidia of Metarhizium anisopliae strain F52 alone …

Research investigating interactions between aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG)
herbivores has been central to characterizing AG–BG linkages in terrestrial ecosystems, with …

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 …
