Global change exposes forest ecosystems to many risks including novel climatic conditions,
increased frequency of climatic extremes and sudden emergence and spread of pests and …

Diverse specialised metabolites contributed to the success of vascular plants in colonising
most terrestrial habitats. Understanding how distinct aspects of chemical diversity arise …

Declining plant diversity alters ecological networks, such as plant–herbivore interactions.
However, our knowledge of the potential mechanisms underlying effects of plant species …

Plants of the same species can strongly differ in their specialized metabolite profiles, which
can affect insect presence and abundance in the field. However, how specialized chemistry …

Chemical variation is a critical aspect affecting performance among co-occurring plants.
High chemical variation in metabolites with direct effects on insect herbivores supports …

Induction of plant defences can show various levels of localization, which can optimize their
efficiency. Locally induced responses may be particularly important in large plants, such as …

Elevational gradients affect the production of plant secondary metabolites through changes
in both biotic and abiotic conditions. Previous studies have suggested both elevational …

Despite the significant number of studies that have recently focused on plant invasion and
invasive plants' success, many uncertainties still exist on the effects of invasive plant identity …

Recursive adaptations and counter‐adaptations of plant‐feeding insects are thought to have
driven chemical and physical diversity in plant defenses. Among existing theories on …

Plants produce multiple specialised metabolites to defend themselves against insect
herbivores. Phytochemical diversity plays important roles in plant–insect interactions, but …
