Predictive theory on how plant diversity promotes herbivore suppression through movement
patterns, host associations, and predation promises a potential alternative to pesticide …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

The attack of a plant by herbivorous arthropods can result in considerable changes in the
plant's chemical phenotype. The emission of so-called herbivore-induced plant volatiles …

Parasitoids display remarkable inter-and intraspecific variation in their reproductive and
associated traits. Adaptive explanations have been proposed for many of the between-trait …

Plants respond to insect herbivory with the production of volatiles that attract carnivorous
enemies of the herbivores, a phenomenon called indirect defence or 'plants crying for help' …

This paper discusses biotic interactions in agroecosystems and how they may be
manipulated to support crop productivity and environmental health by provision of …

Background Plants grow in multi-species communities rather than monocultures. Yet most
studies on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants in response to …

The diverse ecology of parasitoids is shaped by extrinsic competition, ie, exploitative or
interference competition among adult females and males for hosts and mates. Adult females …

Through artificial selection, domesticated plants often contain modified levels of primary and
secondary metabolites compared to their wild progenitors. It is hypothesized that the …

Summary 1 The use of floral resource subsidies to improve herbivore suppression by
parasitoids requires certain trophic interactions and physiological changes to occur. While …
