The ecology and evolution of induced responses to herbivory and how plants perceive risk by Karban, Richard

“…1. Plants perceive herbivore damage or increased risk and respond. These changes may increase plant fitness, although effects on fitness have often been…”

Transient habitats limit development time for periodical cicadas by Karban, Richard

“…Periodical cicadas ( Magicicada spp.) mature in 13 or 17 years, the longest development times for any non-diapausing insects. Selection may favor prolonged…”

Self-recognition affects plant communication and defense by Karban, Richard, Shiojiri, Kaori

“…Animals have the ability to distinguish self from non-self, which has allowed them to evolve immune systems and, in some instances, to act preferentially…”

Variability in plant nutrients reduces insect herbivore performance by Wetzel, William C., Kharouba, Heather M., Robinson, Moria, Holyoak, Marcel, Karban, Richard

“…Variation in plant nutrient levels suppresses insect herbivore populations and the homogenous nutrient content of modern agricultural crops could be…”

Advances in the Evolution and Ecology of 13- and 17-Year Periodical Cicadas by Simon, Chris, Cooley, John R, Karban, Richard, Sota, Teiji

“…Apart from model organisms, 13- and 17-year periodical cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae: Magicicada ) are among the most studied insects in evolution and ecology…”

The effects of pulsed fertilization and chronic herbivory by periodical cicadas on tree growth by Yang, Louie H., Karban, Richard

“…Although many studies have investigated plant growth in the context of episodic herbivory and pressed resource availability, relatively few have examined how…”

Spatial and temporal refugia for an insect population declining due to climate change by Karban, Richard, Huntzinger, Mikaela

“…Insect declines have been reported worldwide, although the particular causes of the declines may be complex and are poorly understood. Meadow spittlebugs were…”
