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 …

Plants and herbivores are remarkably variable in space and time, and variability has been
considered a defining feature of their interactions. Empirical research, however, has …

Plants have evolved plastic defence strategies to deal with the uncertainty of when, by which
species and in which order attack by herbivores will take place,–. However, the responses to …

In response to insect attack, plants release complex blends of volatile compounds. These
volatiles serve as foraging cues for herbivores, predators and parasitoids, leading to plant …

Plant defence often varies by orders of magnitude as plants develop from the seedling to
juvenile to mature and senescent stages. Ontogenetic trajectories can involve switches …

In response to herbivore attack, plants mobilize chemical defenses and release distinct
bouquets of volatiles. Aboveground herbivores are known to use changes in leaf volatile …

In their natural environment, plants are faced with a multitude of attackers, of which insect
herbivores and plant pathogens are an important component. In response to these attacks …

Induced changes in plant quality can mediate indirect interactions between herbivores.
Although the sequence of attack by different herbivores has been shown to influence plant …

Plant pathogens and herbivores frequently co‐occur on the same host plants. Despite this,
little is known about the impact of their interactions on the structure of plant‐based …

Although plants are sessile organisms, they can modulate their phenotype so as to cope
with environmental stresses such as herbivore attack and competition with neighbouring …
