Vip3C proteins from <i>Paenibacillus</i> spp. for controlling lepidopteran crop pests Open
New proteins are needed to control insects not controlled with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) crops, and those evolving resistance to Bt crops. These proteins are increasingly being reported from non-Bt organisms to control Bt-resistant insec…

<span>MON</span> 95379 <i>Bt</i> maize as a new tool to manage sugarcane borer (<i>Diatraea saccharalis</i>) in South America Open
Background The sugarcane borer (SCB), Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a key pest of maize in Argentina, and genetically modified maize, producing Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) proteins, has revolutionized the management o…

A new generation of <i>Bt</i> maize for control of fall armyworm (<span><i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i></span>) Open
BACKGROUND The pyramided genetically modified maize ( Zea mays [L.]) event MON 95379, expressing the Cry1B.868 and Cry1Da_7 proteins, was designed to protect against larval feeding damage by the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW). …

Plant communication in a widespread goldenrod: keeping herbivores on the move Open
Summary Plant communication has been documented in over 35 plant species spanning 16 families to date; however, the underlying mechanisms through which it shapes plants' ecological interactions remain less clear. Using a combination of fie…

Modification of plant‐induced responses by an insect ecosystem engineer influences the colonization behaviour of subsequent shelter‐users Open
Summary Herbivores that modify plant morphology, such as gall‐forming insects, can disproportionately impact arthropod community on their host plants by providing novel habitats and shelters from biotic and abiotic stresses. These ecosyste…

Volatiles, Plant-Plant Interactions And Insect Herbivory: Lessons From Old-Field Communities That Inform Community Ecology Open
Plants interact with numerous organisms in their communities, including neighboring plants. In large part, these interactions are mediated by blends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that plants emit into their headspaces, which may inf…

Informed herbivore movement and interplant communication determine the effects of induced resistance in an individual‐based model Open
Summary Plant induced resistance to herbivory affects the spatial distribution of herbivores, as well as their performance. In recent years, theories regarding the benefit to plants of induced resistance have shifted from ideas of optimal …
