Tree diversity is key for promoting the diversity and abundance of forest‐associated taxa in Europe (2020, background): “Trees may experience associational susceptibility to foliar fungal pathogens infestation in forest stands with a higher target tree species richness (Barbosa et al. 2009, Nguyen et al. 2016), as a result of more suitable microclimates for fungi (Jules et al. 2014), lower fitness of the trees due to…”
Priority effects and ecological restoration (2020, background): “…resource uptake or allelopathy (Aschehoug et al. 2016), whereas indirect competition may occur through complex multispecies interactions (Levine et al. 2017), associational vulnerability to consumers (Barbosa et al. 2009), or changes in soil biota that suppress other species (Lekberg et al. 2018).”
Resurrecting the ghost of green revolutions past: The brown planthopper as a recurring threat to high-yielding rice production in tropical Asia (2012, background): “…wild or in agricultural polycultures, neighboring plants sometimes act as natural pest repellents, mask the herbivores’ preferred host plants, or reduce the time herbivores remain on their host plants (e.g., Pimentel, 1961; Tahvanainen and Root, 1972; Root, 1973; Andow, 1991; Barbosa et al., 2009).”
Plant apparency, an overlooked driver of associational resistance to insect herbivory (2013, background): “Unlike associational resistance, associational susceptibility results in higher levels of herbivory in diverse plant communities than in monocultures (Barbosa et al. 2009).”
Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (2017, background): “This phenomenon has been termed ‘associational resistance’ (Barbosa et al. 2009).”
Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles provide associational resistance against an ovipositing herbivore (2013, background): “In diverse vegetation, neighbouring plants may influence the resistance of the host plants in several ways: by attracting natural enemies of the herbivores, by attracting and sustaining herbivores or by repelling herbivores (Atsatt & O′Dowd 1976; Hamb€ack, Agren & Ericson 2000; Barbosa et al. 2009).”
Shrubs protect oak seedlings against ungulate browsing in temperate broadleaved forests of conservation interest: A field experiment (2012, background): “However, tree seedlings growing beneath or near other plant species may avoid herbivory, or at least it may be reduced; a phenomenon referred to as associational resistance (Callaway and Walker, 1997; Hambäck et al., 2000; Barbosa et al., 2009).”
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “With applied ecological research identified as a necessary step to develop pest-suppressive crop diversification schemes in the Western hemisphere (Barbosa et al., 2009; Letourneau et al., 2011), such work is urgently needed in the developing world.”
Does plant diversity benefit agroecosystems? A synthetic review. (2011, background): “Associational resistance hypotheses focus on how other plants or crops that are associated with a particular plant or crop might repel or confuse host-seeking phytophagous insects (see Barbosa et al. 2009).”
