Because most plants rely on animals for pollination, insights from animal sensory ecology
and behavior are essential for understanding the evolution of flowers. In this review, we …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 1170–1181 Abstract Interactions among species drive the
ecological and evolutionary processes in ecological communities. These interactions are …

The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a very
destructive crucifer-specialized pest that has resulted in significant crop losses worldwide …

▪ Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are broadly interested in how the
interactions among organisms influence their abundance, distribution, phenotypes, and …

Plants have a variety of chemical defenses that often increase in concentration following
attack by herbivores. Such induced plant responses can occur aboveground, in the leaves …

A major challenge in evolutionary biology and plant breeding is to identify the genetic basis
of complex quantitative traits, including those that contribute to adaptive variation. Here we …

Human societies rely on the vast diversity of benefits provided by nature, such as food,
fibres, construction materials, clean water, clean air and climate regulation. All the elements …

Although reproductive strategies can be influenced by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic
factors, life history theory provides a rigorous framework for explaining variation in …

▪ Abstract Although predation has a lethal effect on prey, mature terrestrial plants are rarely
killed by herbivores, but herbivory can change plant allelochemistry, cell structure and …

Artificial light at night has rapidly spread around the globe over the last decades. Evidence is
increasing that it has adverse effects on the behavior, physiology, and survival of animals …
