Summary: The oviposition of willow sawfly on willow trees affects larval growth and pupation, extending the cocoon phase. Oviposition also leads to changes in plant hormones and volatile profiles. This induced response ultimately affects the entire life cycle of the insect.

Summary: Many insects delay egg-laying to optimize their reproductive effort. This study focused on thrips and found that delaying oviposition did not impact egg size, but increased egg load and quantity. Delayed oviposition did not affect offspring fitness or sex ratio. This suggests that thrips females can delay oviposition without incurring physiological costs.

Summary: Damage to plant communities caused by insect herbivores generally decreases with increasing latitude. This study examined the hypothesis that the food consumption by individual herbivores decreases from low to high latitudes due to a decrease in metabolic expenses driven by temperature. The results revealed that the larval feeding efficiency increased with latitude, resulting in reduced foliar biomass consumption by the herbivores at higher latitudes to reach the same size.

Summary: The oviposition of Aphidoletes aphidimyza females was induced by herbivory-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) from eggplants infested by Aphis gossypii. However, there was no significant difference in the number of oviposited eggs between the honeydew treatment and uninfested eggplant.

Summary: Elms enhance their anti-herbivore defences by accumulating salicylic acid and amplifying phenylpropanoid-related responses to insect eggs and hatching larvae. The phenylpropanoid pathway and the phytohormone salicylic acid play important roles in these responses.

Summary: The impact of climate change drivers on cultivated plants and pest insects has been studied, with atmospheric carbon dioxide as one of the significant drivers. Elevated CO2 concentrations affect plant chemistry, which in turn influences the interaction between plants and insects. In this study, pear trees were cultivated under different CO2 levels, and the volatiles emitted by the trees were analyzed. Although the composition of volatiles did not change significantly, the relative release of certain compounds was affected by CO2 increase. However, these changes did not impact the host choice behavior of the female C. pyri insect.

Summary: This article presents the oviposition strategies of stick insects in New Zealand. It suggests that phasmids in New Zealand drop individual eggs from their position in the foliage. In addition, a unique oviposition strategy of the Ro stick insects, Spinotectarchus acornutus, is highlighted, where the female insects insert their eggs into substrates like tree bark and textured surfaces of tree fern trunks. The study also emphasizes the morphological adaptations of their eggs and elongated secondary ovipositor.

Summary: It has been found that belowground larval herbivory enhances aboveground plant defenses and deters aboveground herbivores. The larvae-damaged plants emit higher amounts of a key volatile compound, and belowground herbivory may also influence aboveground herbivore foraging decisions through plant nutrient content.

Summary: The local japonica rice cultivar Ziyu44 in Yunnan Province, China, has shown durable broad-spectrum rice blast resistance for more than 30 years. The study found that the increased accumulation of endogenous JA in Ziyu44 rice plants plays a crucial role in enhancing H2O2 accumulation, activating the SA-JA defense signaling, and mediating broad-spectrum rice blast resistance.

Summary: Plants can detect and respond to insect eggs. The eggs of Pieris brassicae induce early immune responses in Brassica plants, such as callose deposition, production of reactive oxygen species and cell death. The response is specific to Pieris species and is mediated by one or multiple egg associated molecular pattern(s) located in the egg glue. The identified egg associated molecular pattern(s) is not lipidic or proteinaceous.

Summary: Species range expansion induced by climate change and human activities can have negative impacts on native populations and communities. This study provides evidence that a range-expanding wood-borer moth heavily attacks a foundation plant species in salt marshes, impacting its recruitment and succession. The research also highlights the importance of maternal oviposition effects in range-expanding insects using novel host-plants.

Summary: Insect eggs pose a threat to plants, leading to the evolution of complex defense mechanisms. The interactions between insect eggs and plants are regulated by chemical compounds, and the eggs themselves induce complex responses.

Summary: Root volatile compounds emitted by tomato plants under insect herbivore attack were found to be influenced by species, stress, and material. The domesticated and wild tomato species showed different root volatile profiles, with the wild species presenting the largest change in root volatile compounds. Both sorbent materials were required to comprehensively characterize the root volatilome.

Summary: Insects rely heavily on olfaction for host-finding behaviors, but the complexity of odor interactions and the real-time odor environment can influence their ability to locate hosts accurately. The irregularity of insect responses to different odor stimuli makes it challenging to draw general conclusions about their host-finding strategies.

Summary: Melolontha hippocastani is a major pest in European mixed and broadleaf forests. The dense shrub layer reduces the density of egg clusters and eggs in the soil, while canopy openness and a large proportion of oak trees are favorable conditions for oviposition.

Summary: Plants have the ability to detect and respond to biotic stresses through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) which specifically recognize molecules from enemies and activate immune responses. Research on PRRs related to herbivory signals is still in its early stages, with potential PRRs identified but lacking direct binding evidence to ligands, indicating many uncharacterized ligand-receptor pairs.

Summary: Through a genome-wide association study, LecRK-I.1 was identified as an important protein controlling Arabidopsis response to eggs of the large white butterfly, with signatures of balancing selection suggesting ecological importance. Further research showed that LecRK-I.1 functions in the same signaling pathway as LecRK-I.8.
