When attacked by herbivorous insects, plants emit volatile compounds that attract natural
enemies of the insects. It has been proposed that these volatile signals can be manipulated to …

To delay evolution of insect resistance to transgenic crops producing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)
toxins, nearby “refuges” of host plants not producing Bt toxins are required in many …

The western corn rootworm (WCR) is a historic pest with a legacy of resistance and behavioural
plasticity. Its behaviour and nutritional ecology are important to rootworm management. …

Induced changes in plant quality can mediate indirect interactions between herbivores.
Although the sequence of attack by different herbivores has been shown to influence plant …

Minnesota populations of Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, the western corn rootworm,
surviving Cry3Bb1-expressing corn in the field and western corn rootworm populations …

WORKER honey bees,Apis mellifera, are able to discriminate between combs on the basis
of genetic similarity to a learned comb. The nestmate recognition cues that they acquire from …

• Herbivore‐induced systemic resistance occurs in many plants and is commonly assumed to
be adaptive. The mechanisms triggered by leaf‐herbivores that lead to systemic resistance …

Maize (Zea mays L.) stalk lodging is breakage of the stalk at or below the ear, which may
result in loss of the ear at harvest. Stalk lodging is often intensified by the stalk tunneling action …

With the recent commercialization of transgenic rootworm-resistant maize with high levels of
antibiosis to larval feeding, the biology of western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera …

Leaf‐herbivore attack often triggers induced resistance in plants. However, certain specialist
herbivores can also take advantage of the induced metabolic changes. In some cases, they …
