Titre du projet
Cross-effects between below- and aboveground multitrophic interactions
Description
We study the chemical signals that plants emit when they are attacked by insect herbivores and how natural enemies of the herbivores use these signals as foraging cues. The research aims to unravel the mechanisms of these so-called tritrophic interactions and to use this knowledge to study their ecological consequences and evolutionary history, but also to develop novel methods to exploit the plant-produced signals for the control of agricultural pests.
