Earlier models of integrated pest management (IPM) focused on ecological aspects of pest
management. With the recent developments in agricultural technology, modern …

▪ Abstract In this review, we test the hypothesis that abiotic stress increases the suitability of
plants as food for herbivores. We conducted a meta-analysis that included 70 experimental …

The literature is reviewed and new evidence presented that pollen produces odors, which
serve multiple functions in pollination and defense. Pollen odor, which originates from …

This chapter reviews knowledge of the role that floral odors play in insect-flower
associations, with special emphasis on empirically obtained evidence; the circumstantial …

Literature data were collected on the floristic distribution and toxicity of phytochemicals to
herbivores and on herbivore specialization in order to test phytochemical coevolution theory …

The role of hybridization in adaptive evolution is contentious. While many cases of adaptive
trait introgression have been proposed, the relevant traits have rarely been identified …

Many plant extracts or allelochemicals show a broad spectrum of activity against pests and
such products have long been touted as attractive alternatives to synthetic chemical …

A chemical survey of pollen lipids was carried out to examine the composition of pollenkitt in
relation to that of whole pollen and to evaluate the possible role of pollenkitt as the principal …

Plants produce and emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds that play key roles in
interactions with abiotic and biotic environments. One of these roles is the attraction of …

Sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) constitute a large group of secondary metabolites that are
widely distributed in several angiosperm plant families and a few bryophytes, including …
