Plant secondary metabolites (PSM s) are ubiquitous in plants and play many ecological
roles. Each compound can vary in presence and/or quantity, and the composition of the …

Every plant is a member of a complex insect community that consists of tens to hundreds of
species that belong to different trophic levels. The dynamics of this community are critically …

Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of
biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected …

Insect herbivores have highly diverse life cycles and feeding behaviors. They establish close
interactions with their plant hosts and suppress plant defenses. Chewing herbivores evoke …

Technological advances in metabolomics, transcriptomics and genomics have facilitated the
detection of genes that contribute to diversification in plant secondary metabolism. Statistical …

From the order Brassicales, different plant organs, such as inflorescences (eg broccoli and
cauliflower), leaves (eg kale and pak choi), heads (eg white and red cabbage), as well as …

Ethylene responsive factors (ERFs) are a large family of plant‐specific transcription factors
that are involved in the regulation of plant development and stress responses. However, little …

Rapidly increasing levels of light pollution subject nocturnal organisms to major alterations
of their habitat, the ecological consequences of which are largely unknown. Moths are well …

Chemically mediated plant–herbivore interactions contribute to the diversity of terrestrial
communities and the diversification of plants and insects. While our understanding of the …

A single focus on yield in agroecosystems comes at the expense of other ecosystem
services, for instance, biocontrol of pests. In this study, we investigated the potential of …
