Climate change could increase the frequency with which plants experience abiotic stresses,
leading to changes in their metabolic pathways. These stresses may induce the production …

Plant defence theories have recently evolved in such a way that not only the quantity but
also the quality of mineral nutrients is expected to influence plant constitutive defence …

The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of
arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited …
