Brassica vegetable and oilseed crops are attacked by several different flea beetle species
(Chrysomelidae: Alticini). Over the past decades, most research has focused on two …

Soil biota-plant interactions play a dominant role in terrestrial ecosystems. Through nutrient
mineralization and mutualistic or antagonistic interactions with plants soil biota can affect …

Plants under herbivore attack are able to initiate indirect defense by synthesizing and
releasing complex blends of volatiles that attract natural enemies of the herbivore. However …

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

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 face numerous challenges from both aboveground and belowground stressors, and
defend themselves against harmful insects and microorganisms in many ways. Because …

Plants mediate interactions between insects, including leaf-and root-feeders; yet the
underlying mechanisms and connection with ecological theory remain unresolved. In this …

Invasive species represent one of the most important threats to biodiversity worldwide, with
consequences for ecosystem functioning and the delivery of important ecological services to …

In terrestrial food webs, the study of multitrophic interactions traditionally has focused on
organisms that share a common domain, mainly above ground. In the last two decades, it …

Das Buch bietet einen zusammenfassenden Überblick über die Effekte des Klimawandels
auf die Biodiversität in Mitteleuropa. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Bewertung der beobachteten …
