Regulation of Woody Plant Secondary Metabolism by Resource Availability: Hypothesis Testing by Means of Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Plant responses to nitrogen fertilization, shading and CO 2 enrichment in terms of pooled CBSCs and carbohydrates were consistent with predictions made with the two hypotheses, but among biosynthetically distinct groups of CBSCs only concentrations of phenylpropanoid-derived compounds changed as predicted; hydrolyzable tannins and terpenoids, in particular, were less responsive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expansion of geographic range in the pine processionary moth caused by increased winter temperatures

TL;DR: A recent latitudinal and altitudinal expansion of the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa, whose larvae build silk nests and feed on pine foliage in the winter is reported, attributed to increased winter survival due to a warming trend over the past three decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect performance on experimentally stressed woody plants: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Overall, plant stress had no significant effect on insect growth rate, fecundity, survival, or colonization density, but great variation was found in the magnitude and direction of insect responses among studies, most of which was related to insect feeding guild.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Enemy-Free Space and Plant Quality in Host-Plant Selection by Willow Beetles
TL;DR: It is argued that herbivores such as P. vitellinae obtain enemy—free space on hosts from which they sequesters plant—derived allelochemicals for defense through dietary specialization on host—plant species that provide these precursors for defense.
