Herbivory on the pedunculate oak along an urbanization gradient in Europe : Eff...
Valdés‐Correcher, Elena; Popova, Anna; Galmán, Andrea; Prinzing, Andreas; Selikhovkin, Andrey V.; Howe, Andy G.; Mrazova, Anna; Dulaurent, Anne‐MaïmitiUrbanization is an important driver of the diversity and abundance of tree-associated insect herbivores, but its consequences for insect herbivory are poorly understood. A likely source of variability among studies is the insufficient consideration of intraurban variability in forest cover. With the help of citizen scientists, we investigated the independent and interactive effects of local canopy cover and per...
Search for top‐down and bottom‐up drivers of latitudinal trends in insect herbi...
Valdés‐Correcher, Elena; Moreira, Xoaquín; Augusto, Laurent; Barbaro, Luc; Bouget, Christophe; Bouriaud, Olivier; Branco, Manuela; Centenaro, GiadaAIM: The strength of species interactions is traditionally expected to increase toward the Equator. However, recent studies have reported opposite or inconsistent latitudinal trends in the bottom-up (plant quality) and top-down (natural enemies) forces driving herbivory. In addition, these forces have rarely been studied together thus limiting previous attempts to understand the effect of large-scale climatic g...
Intraspecific variation of anatomical and chemical defensive traits in Maritime...
Zas, Rafael; Moreira, Xoaquín; Ramos, Miguel; Lima, Marta R. M.; Silva, Marta Nunes da; Solla, Alejandro; Vasconcelos, Marta; Sampedro, LuisKey message Migration ability of the PWN through wood branch tissues of adult Maritime pine trees significantly differed among Iberian provenances and this variation was related to differences in anatomical and chemical defensive traits. Abstract The pinewood nematode or pine wilt nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is one of the most dangerous threats to European coniferous forests, especially for the s...

Lima, Marta R. M.; Ramos, Miguel; Sampedro, Luis; Moreira, Xoaquín; Zas, Rafael; Marta W. VasconcelosA doença da murchidão do pinheiro é uma doença grave que afecta florestas de coníferas com uma elevada taxa de mortalidade, sendo causada pelo nemátode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Dado que este organismo foi recentemente introduzido na Europa, é importante determinar o grau de susceptibilidade de espécies florestais autóctones ao nemátode. Neste trabalho optimizou-se um teste de susceptibilidade para utilização...
