Plant growth: the what, the how, and the why
Growth is a widely used term in plant science and ecology, but it can have different
meanings depending on the context and the spatiotemporal scale of analysis. At the …

Trade-offs between plant growth and defense against insect herbivory: an emerging mechanistic synthesis
T Züst, AA Agrawal - Annual review of plant biology, 2017 - annualreviews.org
Costs of defense are central to our understanding of interactions between organisms and
their environment, and defensive phenotypes of plants have long been considered to be …

Herbivores and nutrients control grassland plant diversity via light limitation
Human alterations to nutrient cycles, and herbivore communities,,,, are affecting global
biodiversity dramatically. Ecological theory predicts these changes should be strongly …

Maintenance of plant species diversity by pathogens
We present strong evidence that pathogens play a critical role in structuring plant
communities and maintaining plant diversity. Pathogens mediate plant species coexistence …

A framework for predicting intraspecific variation in plant defense
One of the most well-supported theories regarding the evolution of plant defenses is the
resource availability hypothesis (RAH). RAH posits that species from high-resource …

Dimensions of invasiveness: Links between local abundance, geographic range size, and habitat breadth in Europe's alien and native floras
Understanding drivers of success for alien species can inform on potential future invasions.
Recent conceptual advances highlight that species may achieve invasiveness via …

Evolutionary determinants of host and vector manipulation by plant viruses
Plant viruses possess adaptations for facilitating acquisition, retention, and inoculation by
vectors. Until recently, it was hypothesized that these adaptations are limited to virus …

[HTML][HTML] Plant species' origin predicts dominance and response to nutrient enrichment and herbivores in global grasslands
Exotic species dominate many communities; however the functional significance of species'
biogeographic origin remains highly contentious. This debate is fuelled in part by the lack of …

Fungal endophytes can eliminate the plant growth–defence trade‐off
A trade‐off between growth and defence functions is commonly observed in plants. We
propose that the association of plants with Epichloë fungal endophytes may eliminate this …
