From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks

Irene Virseda, Luis Abdala‐Roberts, Miquel Capó, Ayco J. M. Tack et autres

Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types. These inconsistencies suggest that …

Artificial exposure to herbivore‐induced volatile organic compounds reduces herbivory and modulates gene expression in potato plants

Lucía Martín‐Cacheda, Alessio Tei, Gregory Röder, Yolanda Arnáiz et autres

Abstract Climate change accelerates pest development, posing a serious threat to agricultural yields worldwide. While the application of chemical pesticides can control pests, their overuse poses risks to human health and the environment and contributes to the emergence of pesticide‐resistant populations. Within …

Historical vertebrate herbivory drives ontogenetic shifts in plant defense across oceanic islands

Xoaquín Moreira, Luis Abdala‐Roberts, Cláudia Baider, Kevin C. Burns et autres

Islands with contrasting herbivore histories provide a natural framework to investigate the evolution of plant defenses. Theory predicts that on islands with historically intense vertebrate herbivory, juveniles maintain strong defenses while adults may reduce them once out of reach, whereas islands lacking …

Data from: From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long-lived oaks

Irene Virseda, Luis Abdala‐Roberts, Miquel Capó, Ayco J. M. Tack et autres

Classical island biogeography predicts that island plants should be less defended than their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, mounting evidence challenges this assumption, revealing substantial variation across systems and defence types. A more nuanced framework argues that understanding island–mainland …

Genomic diversity and the domestication history of cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum )

Weixuan Ning, Mark A. Arick, Joshua A. Udall, Chuan-Yu Hsu et autres

is the leading fiber crop globally, but its origin as a domesticated plant and patterns of diversity in the wild remain to be elucidated. Here, we use extensive sampling of wild populations and comparative genome sequence data to illuminate the scope and …

Exposure to herbivore-induced plant volatiles directly induces jasmonic acid and primes chemical defences in cotton plants

Kathrin Altermatt, Wenfeng Ye, Armelle Vallat, Luis Abdala‐Roberts et autres

Abstract Plants can deploy alternative defensive strategies in response to airborne signals from damaged neighbours to prepare for incoming attack: a straightaway response up-regulating their defences (induction), or a primed state, leading to a faster/stronger defence response after herbivory. However, it is …

Consistent Microbial Assembly in the Rhizosphere of Crop Wild Progenitors

Miguel de Celis, María José Fernández-Alonso, María Leo, Ignacio Belda et autres

ABSTRACT Aim Microbiome rewilding seeks to harness plant‐microbe interactions for sustainable agriculture, assuming that ancestral microbial partners have been lost during domestication and geographical spread. Designing microbiome rewilding strategies requires a quantitative and predictive understanding of the fundamental ecological processes—selection, dispersal, and …

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Gabriela Quiroga, Carla Vázquez-González, Víctor M. Rodríguez, Beatriz Lago-Núñez et autres

Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services. Urbanization can disrupt plant–herbivore interactions by …

Tri-trophic consequences of plant-to-plant volatile signalling and its contingency on plant relatedness in wild cotton

Sandra Díaz-Cruz, Ted C. J. Turlings, Uriel Solís‐Rodríguez, Jonathan Interian‐Aguiñaga et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induced by herbivory boost defences in neighbouring plants. These effects have been shown primarily for direct plant defences and are often stronger when emitter and receiver plants are genetically related. However, we know much …
