Insect-Plant Interactions and Control

This cluster of papers focuses on the complex interactions between insects and plants in agricultural ecosystems. It covers topics such as jasmonate signaling, herbivore-induced plant volatiles, biological control, plant defense mechanisms against insect herbivores, the effects of pesticides on arthropod pests, host plant selection by insects, and the role of predator diversity. The research aims to understand and manage these interactions to improve pest control and sustainable crop production.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
