Plants are constantly threatened by herbivore attacks and must devise survival strategies.
Some plants sense and respond to elicitors including specific molecules secreted by …

In response to herbivory, most plant species adjust their chemical and morphological
phenotype to acquire induced resistance to the attacking herbivore. Induced resistance may …

Interactions between plants and natural enemies of insect herbivores influence plant
productivity and survival by reducing herbivory. Plants attract natural enemies via herbivore …

Tritrophic interactions among plants, herbivorous insects and their parasitoids have been
well studied in the past four decades. Recently, a new angle has been uncovered …

Plants are members of complex communities of which arthropods are the most speciose
members. The role of carnivores in shaping the outcome of multi‐trophic interactions by top …

Koinobiont endoparasitoid wasps whose larvae develop inside a host insect alter several
important facets of host physiology, potentially causing cascading effects across multiple …

Pathogens play a key role in insect population dynamics, contributing to short‐term
fluctuations in abundance as well as long‐term demographic trends. Two key factors that …

In solitary endoparasitoids, oviposition in a host previously parasitized by a conspecific
(superparasitism) leads to intraspecific competition, resulting in the elimination of all but one …

Plants face many environmental stresses that can impact their survival, development and
fitness. Insects are the most diverse, abundant and threatening herbivores in nature. As a …

Insect-associated microbes, including pathogens, parasites, and symbionts, influence the
interactions of herbivorous insects and pollinators with their host plants. Moreover, herbivory …
