Exploiting chemical ecology to manage hyperparasitoids in biological control of arthropod pests
Insect hyperparasitoids are fourth trophic level organisms that commonly occur in terrestrial
food webs, yet they are relatively understudied. These top‐carnivores can disrupt biological …

Conifer-killing bark beetles locate fungal symbionts by detecting volatile fungal metabolites of host tree resin monoterpenes
Outbreaks of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) have decimated millions of
hectares of conifer forests in Europe in recent years. The ability of these 4.0 to 5.5 mm long …

Nectar‐inhabiting microorganisms influence nectar volatile composition and attractiveness to a generalist pollinator
The plant microbiome can influence plant phenotype in diverse ways, yet microbial
contribution to plant volatile phenotype remains poorly understood. We examine the …

Reflections on, and visions for, the changing field of pollination ecology
Since the launch of Ecology Letters in 1998, the field of Pollination Ecology has changed
considerably in its focus. In this review, we discuss the major discoveries across the past two …
