Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree
species richness at forest stands can improve tree resistance to insect pest damage …

Tritrophic interactions between plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies are an integral
part of all terrestrial ecosystems. Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) play a key role in …

All plants synthesize a suite of several hundred terpenoid compounds with roles that include
phytohormones, protein modification reagents, anti‐oxidants, and more. Different plant …

Ever since the first plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) were isolated and identified,
questions about their ecological functions and diversity have been raised. Recent advances …

<? xm-replace_text {Heading}?> Abstract Terpenoids (isoprenoids) represent the largest

Plants collectively produce hundreds of thousands of specialized metabolites that are not
required for growth or development. Each species has a qualitatively unique profile, with …

Plants respond to herbivore attack by emitting complex mixtures of volatile compounds that
attract herbivore enemies, both predators and parasitoids. Here, we explore whether these …
