Population Regulation in Insect Herbivores - Top-down or Bottom-up?
Recent evidence points to the plant's being a much more limited resource than previously expected. In addition to the restraints on feeding and population growth imposed by such factors as leaf toughness, the physical environment, plant nutrition, etc., recent work points to the role of feeding-induced chemical changes in the leaves in reducing herbivore 'fitness'. This suggests that population...
متن کاملPlant Defense against Insect Herbivores
Plants have been interacting with insects for several hundred million years, leading to complex defense approaches against various insect feeding strategies. Some defenses are constitutive while others are induced, although the insecticidal defense compound or protein classes are often similar. Insect herbivory induce several internal signals from the wounded tissues, including calcium ion flux...
متن کاملPlant immunity to insect herbivores.
Herbivorous insects use diverse feeding strategies to obtain nutrients from their host plants. Rather than acting as passive victims in these interactions, plants respond to herbivory with the production of toxins and defensive proteins that target physiological processes in the insect. Herbivore-challenged plants also emit volatiles that attract insect predators and bolster resistance to futur...
متن کاملTrivial Movements and Redistribution of Polyphagous Insect Herbivores in Heterogeneous Vegetation
Hannunen, S. 2003, Trivial movements and redistribution of polyphagous insect herbivores in heterogeneous vegetation. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6412-9. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay between movement patterns of polyphagous insect herbivores and vegetation heterogeneity within agricultural fields. I examined if and how 1) host plant species, 2) host p...
متن کاملContact chemosensation of phytochemicals by insect herbivores
Contact chemosensation, or tasting, is a complex process governed by nonvolatile phytochemicals that tell host-seeking insects whether they should accept or reject a plant. During this process, insect gustatory receptors (GRs) contribute to deciphering a host plant's metabolic code. GRs recognise many different classes of nonvolatile compounds; some GRs are likely to be narrowly tuned and other...
