Marine chemical ecology: what's known and what's next?
TLDR
This review concludes that relatively unstudied, ontogenetic shifts in concentrations and types of defenses occur in marine species, and patterns of larval chemical defenses appear to provide insights into the evolution of complex life cycles and of differing modes of development among marine invertebrates.About:

Antifouling technology—past, present and future steps towards efficient and environmentally friendly antifouling coatings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of antifouling systems and a detailed characterisation of sea water, and highlight the need for studies on the behavior of chemically active paints under different sea water conditions.

Self-Cleaning Applications of TiO2 by Photo-Induced Hydrophilicity and Photocatalysis
TL;DR: In this article, Wenzel, Cassie-Baxter and Miwa-Hashimoto have discussed the fundamental principles of self-cleaning hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces, which can have various advanced applications in microfluidics, printing, photovoltaic, biomedical devices, and water purification.

Marine paints: The particular case of antifouling paints
TL;DR: In this paper, a general overview of marine paints, paying particular attention to the case of antifouling paints, is presented, followed by a systematic assessment of the main types of living organisms that fix themselves to the underwater parts of ships.

The dilemma of plants: To grow or defend.
TL;DR: A conceptual model of the evolution of plant defense is concluded, in which plant physioligical trade-offs interact with the abiotic environment, competition and herbivory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ecology and evolution of inducible defenses
TL;DR: Inducible defenses are responses activated through a previous encounter with a consumer or competitor that confer some degree of resistance to subsequent attacks as discussed by the authors, which can affect the probability of individual survival and growth.

Seasonal changes in oak leaf tannins and nutrients as a cause of spring feeding by winter moth caterpillars
Paul Feeny,Paul Feeny +1 more
TL;DR: The content of oak leaf tannins, which inhibit the growth of winter moth larvae, increases during the summer and may render leaves less suitable for insect growth by further reducing the availability of nitrogen and perhaps also by influencing leaf palatability.
