DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16082
Abstract: PREMISE Trimerophytes are a plexus of early tracheophytes that form the base of the euphyllophyte clade and, thus, represent the link between the earliest land plants and modern-day ferns, sphenophytes, and seed plants. As the… read more here.

Herbivores alter plant–wind interactions by acting as a point mass on leaves and by removing leaf tissue

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3249
Abstract: Abstract In nature, plants regularly interact with herbivores and with wind. Herbivores can wound and alter the structure of plants, whereas wind can exert aerodynamic forces that cause the plants to flutter or sway. While… read more here.

The influence of warming on the biogeographic and phylogenetic dependence of herbivore–plant interactions

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4918
Abstract: Abstract Evolutionary experience and the phylogenetic relationships of plants have both been proposed to influence herbivore–plant interactions and plant invasion success. However, the direction and magnitude of these effects, and how such patterns are altered… read more here.

Use of an exotic host plant shifts immunity, chemical defense, and viral burden in wild populations of a specialist insect herbivore

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8723
Abstract: Abstract Defense against natural enemies constitutes an important driver of herbivore host range evolution in the wild. Populations of the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly, Euphydryas phaeton (Nymphalidae), have recently incorporated an exotic plant, Plantago lanceolata (Plantaginaceae),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9414
Abstract: Abstract Large herbivore migrations are imperiled globally; however the factors limiting a population across its migratory range are typically poorly understood. Zambia's Greater Liuwa Ecosystem (GLE) contains one of the largest remaining blue wildebeest (Connochaetes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.7205
Abstract: BACKGROUND The oligophagous potato tuber moth (PTM), Phthorimaea operculella, and the polyphagous beet armyworm (BAW), Spodoptera exigua, are two destructive pests of potato, and infestations can lead to serious reduction in potato yield. However, potato… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4088-4
Abstract: The quality and outcome of organismal interactions are not only a function of genotypic composition of the interacting species, but also the surrounding environment. Both the strength and direction of natural selection on interacting populations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-018-1038-x
Abstract: Phenolics have a role in defenses against herbivores, but the defensive functions of specific groups of phenolics are still poorly understood. For example, ellagitannins (a type of hydrolyzable tannin) are predicted to decrease insect herbivore… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-019-01131-y
Abstract: Multiple species of phytophagous insects may co-occur on a plant and while plants can defend themselves from insect herbivory, plant responses to damage by different species and feeding guilds of insects may be asymmetric. Plants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-020-04666-2
Abstract: Spatially separated aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) herbivores can affect each other and alter plant growth and defense, although the outcome of AG-BG herbivore interactions may vary with herbivore type (specialists versus generalists). Here, we… read more here.
