more maneuverable herbivores like insects. To guard against herbivorous insects, some plants use a layer of plant hairs, or trichomes (Figure 3d). Trichomes are extensions of the epidermis that ...

The findings reveal that insects developed modern patterns of herbivory long before flowering plants flourished, upending a long-held hypothesis Jack Tamisiea Paleontologist Conrad Labandeira ...

In natural and agricultural ecosystems, omnivorous insects are omnipresent. Whether they are 'true omnivores' that require both plant and prey resources to complete their life-cycle, 'herbivores ...

The findings, recently published in the journal New Phytologist, suggest multiple insect herbivore lineages have fed off gum trees, which are plants in the well-known Australian genus Eucalyptus ...

The current study investigated the influence of an endophytic fungus of the genus Cladosporium on the herbivore defense of the black poplar Populus nigra, as well as the effects on the insect ...

Ladybirds are carnivores, and eat small insects called aphids. Snails are a type of mollusc which live in the soil, on trees, or under rocks. Garden snails are normally herbivores but will ...

The introduced species, Cyrtobagous salviniae, is a subaquatic herbivorous insect renowned for its ability to curtail the ...

Research in the Abarca lab combines natural history observations, experimental manipulations both in the field and the laboratory, and implementation of ecological modeling techniques to study how ...

The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...
