Abstract: Leaf herbivory on tea plants (Camellia sinensis) by tea geometrids (Ectropis oblique) can cause severe yield loss and quality damage for tea. In previous work, we discovered that leaf herbivory triggered systemic carbon depletion in… read more here.

Abstract: A long-standing paradigm in ecology holds that herbivore pressure and thus plant defences increase towards lower latitudes. However, recent work has challenged this prediction where studies have found no relationship or opposite trends where herbivory… read more here.
