• Multiannual effects of induced plant defenses: Are defended plants good or bad neighbors? 

      Benevenuto, Rafael Fonseca; Hegland, Stein Joar; Töpper, Joachim Paul; Rydgren, Knut; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Seldal, Tarald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Defenses induced by herbivore feeding or phytohormones such as methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can affect growth, reproduction, and herbivory, not only on the affected individual but also in its neighboring plants. Here, we report ...
    • Neighborhood effects of herbivore-induced plant resistance vary along an elevational gradient 

      Fonseca Benevenuto, Rafael; Seldal, Tarald; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Hegland, Stein Joar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The activation of plant defense systems in response to herbivory or experimentally applied methyl jasmonate (MeJA) involves the production of chemical defense substances functioning as warning signals to repel herbivores ...
