Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochemical diversity drives plant-insect community diversity
Lora A. Richards,Lee A. Dyer,Matthew L. Forister,Angela M. Smilanich,Craig D. Dodson,Michael D. Leonard,Christopher S. Jeffrey +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that phytochemical diversity has a direct and positive effect on the diversity of herbivores but also reduces overall herbivore damage, consistent with traditional hypotheses that predict positive associations between plant chemical diversity, insect herbivor diversity, and trophic specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic effects of three Piper amides on generalist and specialist herbivores.
Lee A. Dyer,Craig D. Dodson,John O. Stireman,M. A. Tobler,Angela M. Smilanich,R. M. Fincher,Deborah K. Letourneau +6 more
TL;DR: The mixture of all three amides had the most dramatic deterrent and toxic effects across experiments, with the effects usually surpassing expected additive responses, indicating that these compounds can act synergistically against a wide array of herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade-offs in antiherbivore defenses in Piper cenocladum: ant mutualists versus plant secondary metabolites.
Lee A. Dyer,Lee A. Dyer,Craig D. Dodson,Jon Beihoffer,Deborah K. Letourneau,Deborah K. Letourneau +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although both amides and food body production appear to be costly, redundancy in defenses is necessary to avoid damage by a complex suit of herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic Effects of Amides from Two Piper Species on Generalist and Specialist Herbivores
TL;DR: P Piper cenocladum amides acted synergistically to increase mortality caused by parasitoids, and the direct negative effects of mixtures on parasitoid resistance and pupal mass were stronger than indirect effects via changes in growth rate and approximate digestibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of CO2 and temperature on tritrophic interactions.
TL;DR: The effects measured here, along with other effects of global change on natural enemies suggest that biological control and other top-down effects of insect predators will decline over the coming decades.
