How common is speciation‐with‐gene‐flow? How much does gene flow impact on
speciation? To answer questions like these requires understanding of the common …

Plants are able to “notice” insect egg deposition and to respond by activating direct and
indirect defenses. An overview of these defenses and the underlying mechanisms is given …

Plant–insect interactions are not just influenced by interactions between plants and the
actively feeding stages, but also by the close relationships between plants and insect eggs …

Plants may respond both to feeding and oviposition by herbivorous insects. While responses
of plants to feeding damage by herbivores have been studied intensively during the past …

We investigated the volatile emissions of Manchurian ash seedlings, Fraxinus mandshurica,
in response to feeding by the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, and to exogenous …

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is a
serious invasive pest that has caused devastating mortality of ash trees (Fraxinus sp …

Background The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum is an emerging insect model
organism representing the largest insect order, Coleoptera, which encompasses several …

A series of ubiquitously occurring saturated and monounsaturated six-carbon aldehydes,
alcohols and esters thereof is summarised as 'green leaf volatiles'(GLVs). The present study …

Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) function as host attractants, pheromone synergists, or sexual
kairomones for a number of coleopteran folivores. Hence, we focused on host GLVs to …

Although the usefulness of the term kairomone was discussed controversially after its
introduction, it is now widely accepted in chemical ecology. It is commonly used to describe …
