Phytochemistry as a Multidimensional Interface in Insect–Plant Interactions
Plant-insect interactions form a dynamic, co-evolutionary interface where plant secondary metabolites (SMs) act as central mediators. Shaped by both biotic and abiotic factors, these metabolites function beyond mere toxicity, modulating insect behavior, enabling multitrophic communication, and integrating environmental cues across ecological dimensions.
