Induced Responses to Herbivory
Richard Karban,Ian T. Baldwin +1 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of a rapidly-developing field provides state-of-the-discipline reviews, and highlights areas of research which might be productive, should appeal to a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induced Plant Responses to Herbivory
Richard Karban,Judith H. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: This review considers the characteristics of changes that relate to their role as defenses in induced responses against herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explaining evolution of plant communication by airborne signals.
Martin Heil,Richard Karban +1 more
TL;DR: Four possible non-exclusive explanations involving the role of volatiles are discussed: in direct defense, as within-plant signals, as traits that synergistically interact with other defenses, and as cues among kin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology and evolution of induced resistance against herbivores
TL;DR: Induced resistance is now widely accepted as a potent and widespread ecological force although several pieces of the story remain very poorly known and work suggests that plant heterogeneity may be difficult for herbivores to cope with although this hypothesis awaits further empirical testing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Communication between plants : induced resistance in wild tobacco plants following clipping of neighboring sagebrush
TL;DR: It is reported the first rigorous, experimental evidence demonstrating that undamaged plants respond to cues released by neighbors to induce higher levels of resistance against herbivores in nature.
