Non-native plant invader renders suitable habitat unsuitableArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 9 - Trang 577-583 - 2015
L. Grunzweig, D. J. Spiering, A. Labatore, R. J. Warren
Coevolution between insect herbivores and their target plants often prompts an
evolutionary arms race so that insects develop methods to overcome plant
defenses. In doing so, some insects become specialized on host plants so that
suitable habitat for these herbivorous insects may be demarcated by coevolved
plant species. Non-native plant species may render suitable habitat unsuitable
by replacing ... hiện toàn bộ
Searching for the signal of competition in plant-mediated interactions among coexisting gall insects on broad-leaved paperbarkArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 6 - Trang 83-91 - 2011
S. Raghu, B. Brown, M. F. Purcell
The central prediction of competition theory is that a reciprocal struggle for
resources should manifest itself among coexisting species under conditions of
increasing functional similarity (e.g. similar feeding niche), density and
spatio-temporal overlap. We investigated whether the signal from such a struggle
was evident in a community of phytophagous gall insects on Melaleuca
quinquenervia meet... hiện toàn bộ
Coffee volatiles induced after mechanical injury and beetle herbivory attract the coffee berry borer and two of its parasitoidsArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 10 - Trang 151-159 - 2016
Leopoldo Cruz-López, Bernardino Díaz-Díaz, Julio C. Rojas
The coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), is the most
important insect pest of coffee worldwide. In this study, we used headspace
solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to
sample and identify volatile compounds from Robusta coffee berries, Coffea
canephora Pierre ex Froehner, infested with CBB and with mechanical damage.
Furthermore, we eva... hiện toàn bộ
Host plant preference of Trioza erytreae on lemon and bitter orange plantsArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 15 - Trang 887-896 - 2021
Jacinto Benhadi-Marín, Elisa Garzo, Aránzazu Moreno, José Alberto Pereira, Alberto Fereres
Trioza erytreae, the African citrus psyllid, is a vector of Candidatus
Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of the citrus greening disease or
Huanglongbing (HLB). The spread of the vector throughout the Iberian Peninsula
has been continuous since its introduction in mainland Spain in 2014. The
patterns of host preference and feeding behaviour largely depend on olfactory
cues. Understanding these pa... hiện toàn bộ
Analysing spatial correlation of weeds and harvester ants in cereal fields using point processesArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 10 - Trang 197-205 - 2016
Carles Comas, Aritz Royo-Esnal, Jordi Recasens, Joel Torra
The interaction between the spatial distribution of weed richness and weed cover
and the spatial location of harvester ant nets was investigated in cereal
fields. The understanding of such interdependencies can be relevant to
understand weed population dynamics in dryland cereal fields and may enhance
management strategies for weed control. We used spatial statistical tools
derived from point proc... hiện toàn bộ
Modelling transmission characteristics and epidemic development of the tospovirus–thrip interactionArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 9 - Trang 107-120 - 2015
M. J. Jeger, F. van den Bosch, N. McRoberts
Tospoviruses are plant viruses in the genus Bunyaviridae transmitted in a
persistent–propagative manner by a range of thrips species and cause disease in
wide range of cultivated crops and wild hosts. The viruses in this genus are the
only plant-infecting members of the Bunyaviridae. A distinguishing feature, of
tospoviruses, from other persistent–propagative plant viruses is that
acquisition from... hiện toàn bộ
Role of larval host plant experience and solanaceous plant volatile emissions in Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) host finding behaviorArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 8 - Trang 293-304 - 2014

The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is considered to
be a major pest that damages tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L; Solanaceae) crops
in South American, European, and Mediterranean countries. This insect species is
polyphagous (i.e., feeds on many types of food); hence, it could also develop on
other cultivated host plants, principally solanaceous plants, such as potato (... hiện toàn bộ
