Plant flavonoids in mediterranean species: A focus on flavonols as protective metabolites under climate stress
Flavonoids are specialized metabolites largely widespread in plants where they play
numerous roles including defense and signaling under stress conditions. These compounds …

A framework for predicting intraspecific variation in plant defense
One of the most well-supported theories regarding the evolution of plant defenses is the
resource availability hypothesis (RAH). RAH posits that species from high-resource …

Higher predation risk for insect prey at low latitudes and elevations
Biotic interactions underlie ecosystem structure and function, but predicting interaction
outcomes is difficult. We tested the hypothesis that biotic interaction strength increases …

Sources of controversy surrounding latitudinal patterns in herbivory and defense
Both herbivory and plant defenses against herbivores have been predicted to increase
toward tropical regions. Early tests of this latitudinal herbivory-defense hypothesis (LHDH) …

From common gardens to candidate genes: exploring local adaptation to climate in red spruce
Local adaptation to climate is common in plant species and has been studied in a range of
contexts, from improving crop yields to predicting population maladaptation to future …

Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research
Classic research on elevational gradients in plant–herbivore interactions holds that insect
herbivore pressure is stronger under warmer, less seasonal climates characteristic of low …

[图书][B] The phytochemical landscape: linking trophic interactions and nutrient dynamics
MD Hunter - 2016 - degruyter.com
The dazzling variation in plant chemistry is a primary mediator of trophic interactions,
including herbivory, predation, parasitism, and disease. At the same time, such interactions …

Latitudinal variation in plant chemical defences drives latitudinal patterns of leaf herbivory
A long‐standing paradigm in ecology holds that herbivore pressure and thus plant defences
increase towards lower latitudes. However, recent work has challenged this prediction …

Ponderosa pine resin defenses and growth: metrics matter
Abstract Bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) cause widespread tree
mortality in coniferous forests worldwide. Constitutive and induced host defenses are …

Plant domestication decreases both constitutive and induced chemical defences by direct selection against defensive traits
Studies reporting domestication effects on plant defences have focused on constitutive, but
not on induced defences. However, theory predicts a trade-off between constitutive (CD) and …
