Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and tritrophic interactions across spatial scales
Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are an important cue used in herbivore location
by carnivorous arthropods such as parasitoids. The effects of plant volatiles on parasitoids …

Chemical complexity of volatiles from plants induced by multiple attack
The attack of a plant by herbivorous arthropods can result in considerable changes in the
plant's chemical phenotype. The emission of so-called herbivore-induced plant volatiles …

Resource acquisition, allocation, and utilization in parasitoid reproductive strategies
Parasitoids display remarkable inter-and intraspecific variation in their reproductive and
associated traits. Adaptive explanations have been proposed for many of the between-trait …

Behavioural and community ecology of plants that cry for help
M Dicke - Plant, cell & environment, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Plants respond to insect herbivory with the production of volatiles that attract carnivorous
enemies of the herbivores, a phenomenon called indirect defence or 'plants crying for help' …

Plant volatile emission depends on the species composition of the neighboring plant community
Background Plants grow in multi-species communities rather than monocultures. Yet most
studies on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from plants in response to …

Extrinsic inter-and intraspecific competition in parasitoid wasps
The diverse ecology of parasitoids is shaped by extrinsic competition, ie, exploitative or
interference competition among adult females and males for hosts and mates. Adult females …

Performance of Generalist and Specialist Herbivores and their Endoparasitoids Differs on Cultivated and Wild Brassica Populations
Through artificial selection, domesticated plants often contain modified levels of primary and
secondary metabolites compared to their wild progenitors. It is hypothesized that the …

Floral resources impact longevity and oviposition rate of a parasitoid in the field
JC Lee, GE Heimpel - Journal of animal ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 The use of floral resource subsidies to improve herbivore suppression by
parasitoids requires certain trophic interactions and physiological changes to occur. While …
