Latitudinal gradient in the intensity of biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems: Sources of variation and differences from the diversity gradient revealed by meta …
EL Zvereva, MV Kozlov - Ecology Letters, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Latitudinal Biotic Interaction Hypothesis (LBIH) states that the intensity of biotic
interactions increases from high to low latitudes. This hypothesis, which may partly explain …

Indirect plant–parasitoid interactions mediated by changes in herbivore physiology
Highlights•Interactions between plant defense and parasitoids are bidirectional.•Plant
defenses affect herbivore immune responses to parasitism.•Parasitoids control induction of …

Emerald ash borer biocontrol in ash saplings: the potential for early stage recovery of North American ash trees
In many parts of North America, ash (Fraxinus) stands have been reduced by the emerald
ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) invasion to a few surviving mature trees, saplings, basal …

Phloem-feeding insects create parasitoid-free space for caterpillars
RM Anderson, AB Hennessy, K Kowalski, A Kessler… - Current Biology, 2024 - cell.com
Seemingly small ecological changes can have large, ramifying effects that defy
expectations. Such are keystone effects in ecosystems. Phloem-feeding insect herbivores …

Tritrophic interactions reinforce a negative preference–performance relationship in the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta)
Host plants that promote development of insect herbivores are sometimes less preferred to
more toxic plants, which are co‐opted for protection from natural enemies, resulting in higher …

Between predators and parasitoids: Complex interactions among shelter traits, predation and parasitism in a shelter‐building caterpillar community
CS Baer, RJ Marquis - Functional Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Shelter‐building is widespread in the animal world and such shelters often influence the
success of their builders. Shelters built by caterpillars influence the likelihood of attacks by …

Detoxification of plant defensive glucosinolates by an herbivorous caterpillar is beneficial to its endoparasitic wasp
Plant chemical defences impact not only herbivores, but also organisms in higher trophic
levels that prey on or parasitize herbivores. While herbivorous insects can often detoxify …

Enemy escape: A general phenomenon in a fragmented literature?
Many populations are thought to be regulated, in part, by their natural enemies. If so,
disruption of this regulation should allow rapid population growth. Such “enemy escape” …
