Evolutionary ecology of multitrophic interactions between plants, insect herbivores and entomopathogens
I Shikano - Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2017 - Springer
Plants play an important role in the interactions between insect herbivores and their
pathogens. Since the seminal review by Cory and Hoover (2006) on plant-mediated effects …

Fear of predation slows plant-litter decomposition
Aboveground consumers are believed to affect ecosystem functioning by regulating the
quantity and quality of plant litter entering the soil. We uncovered a pathway whereby …

Compensatory mechanisms for ameliorating the fundamental trade-off between predator avoidance and foraging
Most organisms face the problem of foraging and maintaining growth while avoiding
predators. Typical animal responses to predator exposure include reduced feeding …
