DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4062
Abstract: Ecological interactions among plants, insect herbivores and parasitoids are pervasive in nature and play important roles in community assembling, but the codiversification of tri-trophic interactions has received less attention. Here we compare pairwise codiversification patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac035
Abstract: Abstract The effects of plants on insects are not completely clear due to potential covariation of weather or location affecting both assemblages. To address this question, plant and insect assemblages were described during summer 2019… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aab.12319
Abstract: Industrialisation has elevated atmospheric levels of CO2 from original 280 ppm to current levels at 400 ppm, which is estimated to double by 2050. Although high atmospheric CO2 levels affect insect interactions with host plants, the impact… read more here.

Plant-insect interactions patterns in three European paleoforests of the late-Neogene—early-Quaternary
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5075
Abstract: Plants and insects are constantly interacting in complex ways through forest communities since hundreds of millions of years. Those interactions are often related to variations in the climate. Climate change, due to human activities, may… read more here.
