Main conclusion Coleoptera, the largest and the most diverse Insecta order, is characterized by multiple adaptations to plant feeding. Insect-associated microorganisms can be important …
Symbioses between insects and microbes are ubiquitous, but vary greatly in terms of function, transmission mechanism, and location in the insect. Lepidoptera (butterflies and …
Mechanical damage caused by insect feeding along with components present in insect saliva and oral secretions are known to induce jasmonic acid–mediated defense responses …
