Insect herbivores trigger various biochemical changes in plants, and as a consequence,
affect other organisms that are associated with these plants. Such plant‐mediated indirect …

Understanding the successes and failures of nonnative species remains challenging. In
recent decades, researchers have developed the enemy release hypothesis and other …

To control non-native species, resource managers may import and introduce biocontrol
agents. Like accidentally introduced insects, biocontrol agents must overcome several …

A long‐standing goal of invasion biology is to identify factors driving highly variable impacts
of non‐native species. Although hypotheses exist that emphasize the role of evolutionary …

The invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys is established in many European and American
agro-ecosystems, where it causes severe crop losses. Potential control measures might …

The loss of natural enemies is a key feature of species introductions and is assumed to
facilitate the increased success of species in new locales (enemy release hypothesis; ERH) …

It is well known that plant elicitors can induce plant defense against pests. The herbivore-
induced plant volatile (HIPV) methyl salicylate (MeSA), as a signaling hormone involved in …

Glandular trichomes and laticifers occur in I. pes-caprae (L.) Stweet (Convolvulaceae) and I.
imperati (Vahl) Griseb. However, the importance of their secretion for the species survival in …

abstract The cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg), is native to South America. Since its
unintentional arrival to the United States in 1989 and to Mexican islands in 2006, it has …

Plants respond to herbivory in diverse, complex ways, ranging from avoidance or tolerance
to indirect defense mechanisms such as attracting natural enemies of herbivores, ie …
