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 …

Highlights•The best-known viral symbionts of endoparasitic wasps are polydnaviruses
(PDVs).•There is increasing awareness that PDVs can affect plant–insect interactions.•PDVs …

Abstract Purpose of Review Approximately 40 years ago, key papers indicating that volatile
chemicals released by damaged plants elicited defense-related changes in their neighbors …

The transmission of resistance traits to herbivores across subsequent generations is an
important strategy employed by plants to enhance their fitness in environments with high …

Urban habitats can alter tree physiology in ways that make trees more susceptible to insect
pests. We examined how urban conditions (eg, impervious surfaces and warming) affected …

Despite extensive work on both insect disease and plant reproduction, there is little research
on the intersection of the two. Insect-infecting pathogens could disrupt the pollination …

Antagonistic host–parasitoid interactions can be quantified using bipartite and
metanetworks, which have the potential to reveal how habitat structural elements relate to …

There is increasing awareness that interactions between plants and insects can be
mediated by microbial symbionts. Nonetheless, evidence showing that symbionts …

Caterpillars are an ecologically and economically important group of herbivores in nearly all
natural and agricultural terrestrial ecosystems. To a large extent, the interactions among …

Parasitoids induce physiological changes in their herbivorous hosts that affect how plants
respond to herbivory. The signature of parasitoids on induced plant responses to feeding by …
