Major changes in genetic variation are generally considered deleterious to populations. The
massive biodiversity of insects distinguishes them from other animal groups. Insect deviant …

Inbreeding is the crossing of closely related individuals in nature or a plantation or self-
pollinating plants, which produces plants with high homozygosity. This process can reduce …

Plant trichomes constitute a first line of defence against insect herbivores. The pre-and post-
ingestive defensive functions of glandular trichomes are well documented and include direct …

PREMISE Inbreeding depression is well documented in flowering plants and adversely
affects a wide range of fitness‐related traits. Recent work has begun to explore the effects of …

The insect immune response strategy has generally been considered bipolar: either
resistance or death. Lately, a much broader and subtler landscape has emerged …

Insect population dynamics are the result of an interplay between intrinsic factors such as
density dependence, trophic web interactions, and external forces such as weather …

Habitat loss and fragmentation, which are mostly anthropogenically caused, can lead to
decreasing population sizes for many species. Consequently, the risk of inbreeding …

We study the effects of inbreeding in a dioecious plant on its interaction with pollinating
insects and test whether the magnitude of such effects is shaped by plant individual sex and …

Climate change may cause changes in the dynamics of populations beyond comparatively
simple directional effects. To better understand complex effects on dynamics requires long …

The EICA‐hypothesis predicts that invading plants adapt to their novel environment by
evolving increased performance and reduced resistance in response to the release from …
