Explaining evolution of plant communication by airborne signals
In spite of initial doubts about the reality of 'talking trees', plant resistance expression
mediated by volatile compounds that come from neighboring plants is now well described …

Costs and benefits of induced resistance to herbivores and pathogens in plants.
D Cipollini, M Heil - CABI Reviews, 2010 - cabidigitallibrary.org
While once considered noise in the background of constitutive resistance, the phenomenon
of induced resistance to herbivores and pathogens is now firmly accepted as an integral …

The multiple faces of indirect defences and their agents of natural selection
Plants commonly attract predatory and parasitoid organisms, and may thereby increase
resistance against antagonistic herbivores. Mechanisms for indirect resistance include the …

[HTML][HTML] Tropical plant–herbivore networks: reconstructing species interactions using DNA barcodes
Plants and their associated insect herbivores, represent more than 50% of all known species
on earth. The first step in understanding the mechanisms generating and maintaining this …

Parent–offspring conflicts,“optimal bad motherhood” and the “mother knows best” principles in insect herbivores colonizing novel host plants
C García‐Robledo, CC Horvitz - Ecology and Evolution, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Specialization of insect herbivores to one or a few host plants stimulated the development of
two hypotheses on how natural selection should shape oviposition preferences: The “mother …

Similarity in volatile communities leads to increased herbivory and greater tropical forest diversity
A longstanding paradigm in ecology is that there are positive associations between
herbivore diversity, specialization, and plant species diversity, with a focus on taxonomic …

[HTML][HTML] The genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae)
CL Staines, C García-Robledo - ZooKeys, 2014 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The species of the Neotropical genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 are revised. We present

Host plant taxonomy and phenotype influence the structure of a Neotropical host plant-hispine beetle food web.
Past studies of plant-phytophage communities have encountered both nested and modular/
compartmented food web structures, revealing potentially important differences in the nature …

Larval morphology, development, and notes on the natural history of Cephaloleia "rolled-leaf" beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae).
Abstract The Neotropical genus Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1837 is comprised of 209 described
species. Adults usually feed and mate within the scrolls formed by the young rolled leaves of …
