Insect–Plant Interactions in Plant-based Community/Ecosystem Genetics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Species Diversity and Community Structure

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Biology ((BRIEFSBIOL))

Abstract

Plant traits are fundamental for characterize population, community, and ecosystem properties in a terrestrial ecosystem. Recently, there is increasing evidence that genetically controlled plant traits play an important role in determining community structure and ecosystem processes (i.e., community/ecosystem genetics). On the other hand, we should recognize that herbivores modify plant traits and greatly influence their impacts in determining such community and ecosystem properties through direct and indirect interactions. Here, we review the accumulated knowledge of community/ecosystem genetics, and highlight how herbivores are important for modifying the community and ecosystem consequences of genetically controlled plant traits. Our review clearly illustrates that genetically controlled and plastically modified characteristics of plants are undoubtedly important determinants of community and ecosystem properties. In particular, most such plant traits that influence community and ecosystem properties are related to antiherbivore defense. Therefore, not only genetically controlled defensive traits of plants but also plastically modified defensive traits should be taken into consideration to understand the evolution of antiherbivore defensive traits of plants in community and ecosystem contexts.
