You get what you pay for: reward-specific trade-offs among direct and ant-mediated defences in plants
(Royal SocLondonInglaterra, 2012)
Epichloë endophytes alter inducible indirect defences in host grasses
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06)
Epichloë endophytes are common symbionts living asymptomatically in pooid grasses and may provide chemical defences against herbivorous insects. While the mechanisms underlying these fungal defences have been well studied, ...
Indirect suppression of photosynthesis on individual leaves by arthropod herbivory
(Oxford University Press, 2009-02)
Background: Herbivory reduces leaf area, disrupts the function of leaves, and ultimately alters yield and productivity. Herbivore damage to foliage typically is assessed in the field by measuring the amount of leaf tissue ...
Contrasting cascade effects of carnivores on plant fitness: a meta-analysis
(Wiley-blackwellMaldenEUA, 2011)
The wages of violence: mobbing by mockingbirds as a frontline defence against brood-parasitic cowbirds
(Elsevier, 2013-11)
For many hosts of brood-parasitic birds, their frontline of defence is to mob adult parasites that approach the nest. Mobbing is commonly interpreted as an adaptation to prevent the parasite from laying, although to date ...
Insights into a novel three-partner interaction between ants, coreids (Hemiptera: Coreidae) and extrafloral nectaries: implications for the study of protective mutualisms
(Springer, 2017-08)
Extrafloral nectar of plants and honeydew of hemipterans are the common mediators of facultative interactions that involve ants as a mobile strategy of defence. The outcome of these interactions can vary from mutualistic ...
