Plants and phytophagous arthropods have co-evolved for millions of years. During this long
coexistence, plants have developed defense mechanisms including constitutive and …

Plant defence often varies by orders of magnitude as plants develop from the seedling to
juvenile to mature and senescent stages. Ontogenetic trajectories can involve switches …

Yellow and red autumn leaves are typical of many temperate/boreal woody plants. Since the
19th century, it has been either considered the non‐functional outcome of chlorophyll …

This book about various types of visual defense (coloration, morphology, movement) of
plants against herbivores is not just a list of facts and hypotheses, with a reference source …

Plant functional strategies are usually accomplished through the simultaneous expression of
different traits, and hence their correlations should be promoted by natural selection. The …

Introduction The oxylipin methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a plant hormone active in response
signalling and defence against herbivores. Although MeJA is applied experimentally to …

Abstract Changes in resource availability, functional demands, hormonal regulation and
developmental constraints can promote differences in the expression of leaf traits during …

Abstract Background and Aims Intraspecific variation in foundation species of forest
ecosystems can shape community and ecosystem properties, particularly when that …

The amount of damage that herbivorous insects impose on plants varies as a function of
plant ontogenetic trajectories in tissue quality and defenses, and the herbivores' own …

Direct and indirect negative interactions between ant guards and pollinators on ant-plants
are expected for two reasons. First, aggressive ants may deter pollinators directly. Second …
