Insect herbivory strongly modifies mountain birch volatile emissions

Rieksta, Jolanta; Li, Tao; Junker, Robert R.; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Ryde, Ingvild; Rinnan, Riikka (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

Insect herbivory is known to augment emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Yet few studies have quantified BVOC responses to insect herbivory in natural populations in pan-Arctic regions. Here, we assess ...
Seasonal and elevational variability in the induction of specialized compounds from mountain birch (Betula pubescens var. pumila) by winter moth larvae (Operophtera brumata)

Ryde, Ingvild; Li, Tao; Rieksta, Jolanta; dos Santos, Bruna M.; Neilson, Elizabeth H. J.; Gericke, Oliver; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Bork, Louise R. H.; Holm, Hildur S.; Rinnan, Riikka (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

The mountain birch [Betula pubescens var. pumila (L.)] forest in the Subarctic is periodically exposed to insect outbreaks, which are expected to intensify due to climate change. To mitigate abiotic and biotic stresses, ...
