Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research (2018, background): “…replacement along large-scale gradients that span multiple biogeographic zones changes insect herbivore and plant community composition, precluding comparisons of intra- and interspecific patterns at the same scale and within the same climatic ranges (Johnson and Rasmann 2011, Anstett et al. 2016).”
Evolutionary ecology of plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “Functional Ecology 2011 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 25, 305–311 explain variation in defence (Endara & Coley 2011; Moles et al. 2011), as well as emerging areas of study that provide new hope in explaining patterns of defence (Rasmann et al. 2011).”
Multitrophic interactions below and above ground: en route to the next level (2011, background): “…levels of constitutive and inducible cardenolides (as direct defence) and volatiles (attractants of entomopathogenic nematodes as indirect defence), Rasmann et al. (2011) demonstrate that both traits are partly redundant in their effect but combine to obtainmaximum defensive effects under specific…”
Sequence of arrival determines plant‐mediated interactions between herbivores (2011, background): “The metabolism of plants is remarkably adaptable to environmental stress: upon attack by insects and pathogens, dedicated signal transduction cascades are activated that help plants to withstand and tolerate the ensuing threats (Dangl & Jones 2001; Howe & Jander 2008; Rasmann et al. 2011).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi affect plant tolerance and chemical defences to herbivory through different mechanisms (2016, background): “milkweeds have evolved resistance to cardenolides and latex, both traits can still impose substantial negative effects on them (Zalucki, Brower & Alonso 2001; Rasmann et al. 2011; Tao & Hunter 2012).”
