DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2950
Abstract: Abstract The diversity of plant neighbors commonly results in direct, bottom‐up effects on herbivore ability to locate their host, and in indirect effects on herbivores involving changes in plant traits and a top‐down control by… read more here.

Weak latitudinal gradients in insect herbivory for dominant rangeland grasses of North America

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6374
Abstract: Abstract Patterns of insect herbivory may follow predictable geographical gradients, with greater herbivory at low latitudes. However, biogeographic studies of insect herbivory often do not account for multiple abiotic factors (e.g., precipitation and soil nutrients)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10886-020-01193-3
Abstract: Secondary metabolites commonly play important physiological roles in plants and can be modified quantitatively and qualitatively by exposure to biotic and abiotic interactions. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and herbivory induce systemic resistance. In the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.08.011
Abstract: Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major vehicles of information transfer between organisms and mediate many ecological interactions [1-3]. Altering VOC emission in response to herbivore damage has been hypothesized to be adaptive, as it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2021.104557
Abstract: Abstract Climate warming has been found to increase forest insect herbivory with potentially important consequences for the performance and distribution of plant species. Dioecious species often show sex-specific responses to abiotic drivers leading to spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.11.014
Abstract: Abstract Tree diversity has long been recognized as a major driver of insect herbivory in forest ecosystems. However, predicting the strength and direction of tree diversity effects in real-world situations has proven elusive. One likely… read more here.

Doubling of biomass production in European boreal forest trees by a four-year suppression of background insect herbivory

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.117992
Abstract: Abstract Background insect herbivory, i.e. the minor but chronic plant damage caused by insects, is usually considered ‘negligible’ for plants when compared with the severe defoliation associated with forest pest outbreaks. We experimentally tested the… read more here.

Insect herbivory dampens Subarctic birch forest C sink response to warming
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16404-4
Abstract: Climate warming is anticipated to make high latitude ecosystems stronger C sinks through increasing plant production. This effect might, however, be dampened by insect herbivores whose damage to plants at their background, non-outbreak densities may… read more here.

Tomato PEPR1 ORTHOLOG RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE1 Regulates Responses to Systemin, Necrotrophic Fungi, and Insect Herbivory
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Plant Cell"
DOI: 10.1105/tpc.17.00908
Abstract: PORK1 is identified and characterized as a receptor-like kinase involved in tomato responses to the endogenous peptide systemin. Endogenous peptides regulate plant immunity and growth. Systemin, a peptide specific to the Solanaceae, is known for… read more here.
