Genetically engineered (GE) crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt)(mainly Cry proteins) have become a major control tactic for a number of …

Herbivorous and carnivorous arthropods use plant volatiles when foraging for food. In
response to herbivory, plants emit a blend that may be quantitatively and qualitatively …

Biological control provides an environmentally safe, cost-effective and energyefficient
means of pest control, either alone or as a component of integrated pest management. The …

▪ Abstract Tremendous strides have been made regarding our understanding of how host
plant chemistry influences the interactions between herbivores and their natural enemies …

Phlorotannins are ubiquitous secondary metabolites in brown algae that are phenotypically
plastic and suggested to have multiple ecological roles. Traditionally, phlorotannins have …

In recent years, induced plant defenses have received widespread attention from biologists
in a variety of disciplines. The mechanisms underlying these defenses and the interactions …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1075–1083 Abstract Natural enemies respond to herbivore‐
induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), but an often overlooked aspect is that there may be …

It is well established that plants provide alternative foods to predators of herbivorous
arthropods. This provision may facilitate protection against herbivory. However, plants often …

Inducible defences allow plants to be phenotypically plastic. Inducible indirect defence of
plants by attracting carnivorous enemies of herbivorous arthropods can vary with plant …

Most herbivorous arthropods are specialists that feed on one or a few related plant species.
To understand why this is so, both mechanistic and functional studies have been carried out …
