Herbivore-induced sorghum volatiles mediate attraction of Cotesia flavipes: roles of DMNT and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate in tritrophic chemical communication

These findings demonstrate laboratory behavioral activity of candidate sorghum HIPVs toward C. flavipes, and DMNT and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate represent candidate semiochemicals warranting further validation under ecologically realistic conditions.

The Potential for Pest Management Using Plant‐Derived Signaling Compounds

This study describes a key ecological function of HIPVs: the attraction of natural enemies of herbivorous insects and synthesizes evidence on the exogenous application of jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and related compounds, focusing on their effects on herbivores and their natural enemies.

Herbivory‐Induced Stomatal Opening Triggers the Dispersal of an Invasive Insect Herbivore

ABSTRACT Stomata play important roles in plant responses to phytopathogens, but less is known about their roles in plant‐herbivore interactions. Herbivore damage commonly closes stomata but also elicits the release of herbivory‐induced plant volatiles, important mediators of plant‐herbivore interactions. Here, we exami...

Innate behaviours shape generalist herbivore host choice and feeding patterns independent of plant defences

Plant–herbivore interactions are typically examined through plant defence and herbivore performance, yet individual herbivore behavioural mechanisms underlying these interactions are rarely considered alongside plant traits. We characterized key behavioural differences between the two closely related pol...

Egg volatiles of oak silkworm mediate defense against parasitoid wasps.

Most insects protect their eggs from natural enemies via physical coverings, yet defensive mechanisms of exposed eggs (i.e., those without such coverings), particularly those lacking toxins, remain largely unexplored. The oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) lays such exposed eggs, yet these eggs exhibit less parasitism tha...
