ABSTRACT Shelter‐building insects are important ecosystem engineers, playing critical roles in structuring arthropod communities. Nonetheless, the influence of leaf shelters and arthropods on plant–associated microbiota remains largely unexplored. Arthropods that visit or inhabit plants can contribute to microbial community, resulting significant changes plant–microbe interactions. By artificially constructing shelters, we provide evidence shelter‐building not only community structure but...
Plants produce an array of floral olfactory and visual cues to attract pollinators, including volatile organic compounds (VOC), which mediate plant-pollinator interactions may be influenced by herbivory neighboring plants. Consequently, these factors affect plant fitness disrupting pollination. However, most evidence comes from controlled experiments, limiting our understanding how VOCs function in natural populations. This study investigated conspecific ramet density influence VOC profile,...
