Evolutionary ecology of plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “…of defences (Stamp 2003; Endara & Coley 2011); whether plant volatiles have evolved as indirect defensive mechanisms (Dicke & Baldwin 2010; Kessler & Heil 2011); and the relative roles of various plant traits (e.g. chemical resistance, tolerance, growth rate) in defence against herbivores…”
Plant traits predict inter‐ and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community (2014, unknown): “Plant traits predict inter- and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community”
Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research (2018, background): “…Carmona et al. 2011), induced defences (Karban 2011), and indirect defences (i.e. plant traits that facilitate the recruitment of natural enemies of insect herbivores; Kessler and Heil 2011) are also central to plant defence and may exhibit elevational gradients (see Box 1 for definitions).”
A Sustainable Agricultural Future Relies on the Transition to Organic Agroecological Pest Management (2018, background): “There are specific plant traits that can augment indirect resistance, including traits that benefit insect predators by providing a signal about prey location or habitat or food resources, or muddle herbivore host finding [39].”
Biosynthesis and biological functions of terpenoids in plants. (2015, background): “the plant host under natural conditions are still debated [252, 257, 258].”
