Abstract Purpose of Review Climate change affects populations of forest insect pests in a
number of ways. We reviewed the most recent literature (2013–2017) on this subject …

The insect's microbiota is well acknowledged as a “hidden” player influencing essential
insect traits. The gut microbiome of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) has been shown to …

All insects are colonized by microorganisms on the insect exoskeleton, in the gut and
hemocoel, and within insect cells. The insect microbiota is generally different from …

Beetles are hosts to a remarkable diversity of bacterial symbionts. In this article, we review
the role of these partnerships in promoting beetle fitness following a surge of recent studies …

Herbivory, defined as feeding on live plant tissues, is characteristic of highly successful and
diverse groups of insects and represents an evolutionarily derived mode of feeding. Plants …

Conifers have evolved complex oleoresin terpene defenses against herbivores and
pathogens. In co‐evolved bark beetles, conifer terpenes also serve chemo‐ecological …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Covering: up to 2018 Insects live in a world full of toxic compounds such as plant toxins and
manmade pesticides. To overcome the effects of these toxins, herbivorous insects have …

Microbes can be an important source of phenotypic plasticity in insects. Insect physiology,
behaviour, and ecology are influenced by individual variation in the microbial communities …

The majority of insect species consume plants, many of which produce chemical toxins that
defend their tissues from attack. How then are herbivorous insects able to develop on a …
