Different soil moisture conditions change the outcome of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis between Rhizopogon species and Pinus muricata (2007, background): “For example, changes in light availability (Zhou and Sharik 1997; Weber et al. 2005) and herbivory pressure (Gehring and Whitham 2002) have both been shown to influence how plants and ECM fungi interact.”
Mycorrhizal diversity: Cause and effect? (2005, background): “, 1995), browsing of mycelia by soil fauna (Setala, 1995), and above-ground herbivory (Gehring and Whitham, 2002), may all decrease colonization.”
INSECT HERBIVORY INCREASES LITTER QUALITY AND DECOMPOSITION: AN EXTENSION OF THE ACCELERATION HYPOTHESIS (2003, background): “Soil microbial communities associated with herbivore resistant or susceptible trees may be adapted to process the different qualities of litter inputs at these tree microsites (Hunt et al. 1988, Gehring and Whitham 2002; Kuske et al., 2003).”
Seeking the elusive function of the root-colonising dark septate endophytic fungi (2005, background): “First, by improving overall plant performance, fungal symbionts may improve plant tolerance of herbivory and thus increase the plant’s ability to sustain herbivore damage without incurring visibly reduced productivity (Borowicz 1997, Gehring & Whitham 2002).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence visitation rates of pollinating insects (2005, methodology): “Given that these mycorrhizal plants are likely to be larger and may have reduced herbivore attack (Gehring & Whitham, 2002, although see also Gange et al., 1999) and that their offspring may be more vigorous (Koide & Lu, 1995) they could provide a disproportionate contribution of genetic material…”
Dual benefit from a belowground symbiosis: nitrogen fixing rhizobia promote growth and defense against a specialist herbivore in a cyanogenic plant (2011, background): “Despite focus on plant-microbe interactions, little is known about the three-way interaction of plantassociated soil microorganisms, plants, and higher trophic levels (but see Goverde et al. 2000; Gehring and Whitham 2002; Gange et al. 2003; Bezemer et al. 2005; Hempel et al. 2009; Pozo and Azcon-Ag”
Effects of Soil Organisms on Aboveground Plant-Insect Interactions in the Field: Patterns, Mechanisms and the Role of Methodology (2018, background): “Only one study reports that treatment with AMF led to two- to three-fold lower numbers of the poplar aphid Chaitophorus populicola on poplar trees, Populus angustifolia x P. fremontii that were placed in pots in the field (Gehring and Whitham, 2002).”
Does herbivory really suppress mycorrhiza? A meta‐analysis (2010, methodology): “We analysed effects of multiple types of defoliation, while Gehring and Whitham focused on insect defoliation and attempts to mimic insect defoliation, and this may explain why a meta-analysis of experiments published before 2002 does not agree with the Gehring & Whitham (2002) review.”
