A Sustainable Agricultural Future Relies on the Transition to Organic Agroecological Pest Management (2018, background): “Pl an tb as ed re si st an ce Physical traits • Deter or impede mobility of insect pests [29] or colonization of plant pathogens (i.”
Herbivory mediated by coupling between biomechanical traits of plants and grasshoppers (2013, background): “2012), constitutive and inducible secondary compounds (Mole & Joern 1994) and structural traits such as spinescence, pubescence, sclerophylly and abrasiveness (D ıaz et al. 2007; Hanley et al. 2007; Reynolds, Keeping & Meyer 2009; Keathley & Potter 2011) or a combination of these traits (P erez-Harg”
Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, background): “In complement, physical defences act via traits that physically decrease the potential for food acquisition (e.g. leaf toughness, trichomes; Awmack & Leather 2002; Hanley et al. 2007).”
Evidence of the ‘plant economics spectrum’ in a subarctic flora (2010, background): “Some evidence exists nevertheless with regard to the positive role of lignin and C:N ratio on herbivory defence (Hanley et al. 2007) and the positive correlation of N and P with plant growth rate (Nielsen et al. 1996).”
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) as a predictor of forage availability for ungulates in forest and field habitats (2013, background): “2006) and plant adaptations to herbivory (Hanley et al. 2007).”
Metabolomic analysis of the interaction between plants and herbivores (2009, background): “Plants possess a wealth of structural and chemical mechanisms to defend themselves against a wide range of attackers (Bennett and Wallsgrove 1994; Hanley et al. 2007).”
Leaf, stem and root tissue strategies across 758 Neotropical tree species (2012, background): “Such costly leaves are more effectively defended against herbivores and pathogens (Coley & Barone 1996; Agrawal & Fishbein 2006; Hanley et al. 2007), and therefore confer slower growth but higher survival rates (Poorter & Bongers 2006).”
Plant traits predict inter‐ and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community (2014, neutral): “For example, high nitrogen content and specific leaf area (SLA) can make plants more palatable to herbivores (Mattson 1980; Choong et al. 1992; Hanley et al. 2007), while the presence of secondary metabolites and structural traits is known to increase plant resistance to herbivory (Agrawal 2007; Han”
The Worldwide Spread, Success, and Impact of Ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) (2017, background): “The presence of phytoliths (mineral deposits in epidermal cell walls) in aerial parts has been reported for A. psilostachya and A. trifida (Bozarth, 1992) and this increases resistance to leaf-eating invertebrates (Hanley et al., 2007).”
Ranking temperate woody species along a gradient of browsing by deer. (2009, background): “, 1997) and morphological characteristics such as spinescence have been widely recognised as factors directly influencing palatability (Schindler et al., 2003; Hanley et al., 2007).”

Mechanisms of plant defense against insect herbivores (2012, background): “1).(1,9,10) Both defense mechanisms (direct and indirect) may be present constitutively or induced after damage by the herbivores.”
Redifferentiation of leaflet tissues during midrib gall development in Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae) (2010, background): “This mechanical zone confers protection against natural enemies (Vance et al., 1980; Rohfritsch, 1992; Stone and Schönrogge, 2003; Hanley et al., 2007), and is related to hormone activity, particularly decreases in auxins (Dorchim and Aloni, 2002), which should coincide with the end of gall maturati”
