Plant resistance to herbivores was induced in a field experiment to evaluate the consequences
of induced responses for subsequent herbivory and plant fitness. Induction early in the …

Introduced plant populations lose interactions with enemies, mutualists and competitors from
their native ranges, and gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions. …

The tolerance of plants to herbivory reflects the degree to which a plant can regrow and
reproduce after damage from herbivores. Autoecological factors, as well as the influence of …

When individuals of two species interact, they can adjust their phenotypes in response to
their respective partner, be they antagonists or mutualists. The reciprocal phenotypic change …

Background 18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states of India have
populations similar to those of large countries. Action to effectively improve population health in …

Background As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal
outcomes of diseases and injuries are becoming a larger component of the global …

Predators are potent agents of natural selection in biological communities. Experimental
studies have shown that the introduction of predators can cause rapid evolution of defensive …

Given that a plant's defensive strategy against herbivory is never likely to be a single trait,
we develop the concept of plant defense syndromes, where association with specific …

Background Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for
benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, …

Background The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017
comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to risk factor quantification …
