Journal ArticleDOI
Costs of constitutive and herbivore-induced chemical defences in pine trees emerge only under low nutrient availability
TL;DR: The results indicate that P availability controls the production of chemical defences in this pine species, influencing the resource allocation to constitutive defences, the inducibility of those defences and the emergence of related vegetative costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade-offs between constitutive and induced defences drive geographical and climatic clines in pine chemical defences

TL;DR: This work quantified early growth rate and both constitutive and inducible chemical defences of 18 Pinaceae species in a common greenhouse environment and assessed their defensive allocation with respect to each species' range across climatic gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant diversity effects on insect herbivores and their natural enemies: current thinking, recent findings, and future directions
TL;DR: This work seeks to address key gaps in knowledge as well as to capitalize on recent advances and emerging frameworks in plant biodiversity research, and provides new insights aswell as recommendations which will stimulate new research and advance this field of study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defensive responses of Pinus pinaster seedlings to exogenous application of methyl jasmonate: concentration effect and systemic response.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the systemic effect of the MeJa induction is restricted to the most valuable parts of the seedlings, and should be considered in further studies aimed to understand the systemic resistance of conifers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research
TL;DR: A recent review as mentioned in this paper synthesizes current knowledge on elevational gradients in plant-insect herbivore interactions, critically analyses research gaps and highlights recent advances that contribute to filling these gaps.
