Update on Climate Change Climate Change: Resetting Plant-Insect Interactions

Elevated CO2 and temperature are altering the interactions between plants and insects with important implications for food security and natural ecosystems. Ecologically, the acceleration of plant phenology by warming is generating mismatches between plants and insect pollinators. Similarly, shifting the rate of plant development relative to insect development can amplify or minimize the consequ...

Insect herbivory, plant defense, and early Cenozoic climate change.

Insect damage on fossil leaves from the Central Rocky Mountains, United States, documents the response of herbivores to changing regional climates and vegetation during the late Paleocene (humid, warm temperate to subtropical, predominantly deciduous), early Eocene (humid subtropical, mixed deciduous and evergreen), and middle Eocene (seasonally dry, subtropical, mixed deciduous and thick-leave...
