Insect herbivores use different cues to locate host plants. The importance of CO2 in this context is not well understood. We manipulated CO2 perception in western corn rootworm (WCR) larvae through RNAi and studied how CO2 perception impacts their in

Living deep in the ground and surrounded by darkness, soil insects must rely on the chemicals released by plants to find the roots they feed on. Carbon dioxide, for example, is a by-product of plant respiration, which, above ground, is thought to att

Plant-derived CO2 mediates long-distance host location and quality assessment by a root herbivore

Autor: Vanitha Theepan, Bernardus C. J. Schimmel, Carla C. M. Arce, Ricardo A. R. Machado, Geoffrey Jaffuel, Matthias Erb

SummaryInsect herbivores can use volatile and visual cues to locate and select suitable host plants from a distance. The importance of CO2, arguable the most conserved volatile marker of metabolic activity, is not well understood in this context, eve

The plant metabolome guides fitness-relevant foraging decisions of a specialist herbivore. PLoS biology, 19(2), e3001114. Public Library of Science 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001114

Plants produce complex mixtures of primary and secondary metabolites. Herbivores use these metabolites as behavioral cues to increase their fitness. However, how herbivores combine and integrate different metabolite classes into fitness-relevant fora
