Genetic and environmental interactions determine plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “Until now, little is known of the interplay between genetic control and phenotypic plasticity of plant defence traits, although both factors are important for short-term adaptations and the evolution of plant defensive syndromes (Agrawal & Fishbein 2006; Agrawal, Lajeunesse & Fishbein 2008).”
Predicting novel herbivore–plant interactions (2013, background): “For example, numerous studies have found signifi cant covariation between plant defensive phenotypes (Agrawal and Fishbein 2006, Pearse and Hipp 2012), which have even been described as ‘ plant defense syndromes ’ (Kursar and Coley 2003, Agrawal and Fishbein 2006).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “Herbivores and pathogens are not always specialists in the sense of a one-host-one-plant relationship, but in many communities the dominant herbivores tend to display a strong phylogenetic signal in their diet (Agrawal & Fishbein 2006).”
Aphids in a changing world: testing the plant stress, plant vigour and pulsed stress hypotheses (2012, background): “Lower water content is usually linked with the ‘hard to eat’ characteristics of plants (Scriber & Slansky, 1981), which is associated with low nutritional quality (Agrawal & Fishbein, 2006) and may combine to reduce aphid performance.”
Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research (2018, background): “…deploy an arsenal of defensive traits that act synergistically against multiple insect herbivore species, resulting in positive (rather than negative) co-variation between defences (Agrawal and Fishbein 2006), including plant chemical and physical defences, indirect defences and tolerance.”
Floral volatiles controlling ant behaviour (2009, background): “As with acacias, it is likely that other variables influence both physical ⁄decoy defences and VOCs in relation to ants, such as timing of anthesis and of nectar presentation (if any), and accounting for these might in practice reveal a multivariate trade-off (Agrawal & Fishbein 2006).”
Functional explanations for variation in bark thickness in tropical rain forest trees (2010, background): “If, alternatively, there are deeper physiological trade-offs between allocation to growth and defence, then positive relationships may be expected between physical and chemical components of defensive strategy (Agrawal & Fishbein 2006).”
Multiple plant traits shape the genetic basis of herbivore community assembly (2015, background): “A single herbivore species is often correlated with multiple plant traits (Agrawal 2005; Agrawal & Fishbein 2006), and different herbivore species within a community may exhibit divergent responses to the same traits (Agra- wal 2004, 2005; Agrawal & Fishbein 2006).”
Predicting tropical insect herbivore abundance from host plant traits and phylogeny (2012, background): “…nitrogen than primary-forest trees is typical for this high-light environment where low investment in structural defense, high growth rates, and relatively high rates of photosynthesis per unit of mass are commonly observed (Schadler et al. 2003, Poorter et al. 2004, Agrawal and Fishbein 2006).”
