Complex plant metabolomes guide fitness-relevant foraging decisions of a specialist herbivore

R. A. R. Machado, V. Theepan, C. A. M. Robert, T. Zuest, L. Hu, Q. Su, B. C. J. Schimmel, M. Erb

This study shows how western corn rootworm integrates sugar and benzoxazinoid cues for foraging, with sugars aiding host finding and benzoxazinoids influencing acceptance, both improving growth and survival.

Plant-derived CO2 mediates long-distance host location and quality assessment by a root herbivore

C. C. M. Arce, V. Theepan, B. C. J. Schimmel, G. Jaffuel, M. Erb, R. A. R. Machado

This study shows that CO2 mediates long-distance host location and quality assessment by WCR larvae through the DvvGr2 receptor, while short-range location uses other volatiles.
