The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, subphylum Glomeromycotina,
and terrestrial plants is one of the most widespread and arguably most successful plant …

Plants interact with a large diversity of microbes and insects, both below and above ground.
While studies have shown that belowground microbes affect the performance of plants and …

Bacterial endosymbionts have enabled aphids to adapt to a range of stressors, but their
effects in many aphid species remain to be established. The bird cherry‐oat aphid …

Despite the importance of parasitoid wasps as biological control agents and the vast
literature available on different aspects of their natural history and ecology, it is only recently …

BACKGROUND Plant resistance to insects can be reduced by crop domestication which
means their wild ancestors could provide novel sources of resistance. Thus, crossing wild …

Interactions between plants and microbiomes play a key role in ecosystem functioning and
are of broad interest due to their influence on nutrient cycling and plant protection. However …

This study sheds light on a poorly understood area in insect–plant–microbe interactions,
focusing on aphid probing and feeding behavior on plants with varying levels of arbuscular …

Bacterial symbionts associated with aphids are important for their ecological fitness. The
corn leaf aphid, Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch), is one of the most damaging aphid pests on …

Pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) are one of the most important insect pests of alfalfa
(Medicago sativa). Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are important microorganisms of the …

Above‐and below‐ground organisms can interact by altering the quality of shared host
plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) influence plant nutrient uptake, including …
