TL;DR
Results suggest that highly unrelated organisms that share a host plant may interact strongly and changes caused by pathogen or herbivore attack reduced the suitability of the host plant to a diversity of organisms.
Abstract
The fungal pathogen Verticillium dabliae was less likely to cause symptoms of verticillium wilt on cotton seedlings that had been previously exposed to spider mites than on unexposed cotton seedlings. Conversely, populations of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae grew less rapidly on seedlings that had been inoculated with V. dabliae than on uninoculated controls. Changes caused by pathogen or herbivore attack reduced the suitability of the host plant to a diversity of organisms. This result suggests that highly unrelated organisms that share a host plant may interact strongly.

ScienceWound-Induced Proteinase Inhibitor in Plant Leaves: A Possible Defense Mechanism against Insects
1,190 Citations1972T. R. Green, Clarence A. Ryan
The transport of a factor out of damaged leaves takes place rapidly after the wound is inflicted and the levels of proteinase inhibitor, in both damaged and adjacent leaves, rises strikingly within a few hours.

573 Citations1967Richard S. Miller
This chapter discusses the development of competition theory, which has traditionally included three stages: inferences drawn from observation of natural populations, construction of mathematical models, and laboratory experiments designed to test elements of competitive interactions in controlled environments.
The American NaturalistCommunity Patterns and Competition in Folivorous Insects
482 Citations1981John H. Lawton, D. R. Strong,
It is argued that classical, interspecific competition for food is weak and infrequent, and that it cannot fill the major ecological and evolutionary role favored for it by many workers on other organisms, and favor the view that most community patterns can be explained without invoking inter specific competition.
The American NaturalistRapidly Induced Defenses and Talking Trees: The Devil's Advocate Position
281 Citations1985Simon V. Fowler, John H. Lawton
No evidence either that experimental defoliation reduces subsequent levels of herbivore attack or that trees communicate is found; it is argued that most induced responses may have negligible consequences for field populations.
EcologyIndirect Interactions Between Temporally Separated Herbivores Mediated by the Host Plant
265 Citations1986Stanley H. Faeth
The results suggest that the effect of early season herbivory on leaf miners was inversely density dependent and occurrence of leaf miners on intact leaves may be caused by avoidance of damaged leaves rather than preference for intact leaves.

The authors are attempting to identify a bacterial elicitor, known that the soybean pathogen Phytophthora magasperma is an oligosaccharide composed only of glucose, of general biological interest since it shows that oligOSaccharides can act as regulatory molecules.

This article is the first attempt to publish the results of the research period (1949-1975) comprehensively and considers that the larch bud moth, Zeiraphera diniana, would meet the criteria for being such a model insect.
ScienceInduced Resistance of Cotton Seedlings to Mites

Mite populations grew more rapidly on new growth of cotton seedlings that had never been exposed to mites than on newgrowth of plants whose cotyledons had been previously exposed to them.
OecologiaBirch leaves as a resource for herbivores: Seasonal occurrence of increased resistance in foliage after mechanical damage of adjacent leaves
163 Citations1979Erkki Haukioja, Pekka Niemel�
In a lepidopteran species whose larval period lasts through the whole season, retardation in growth was significant in the beginning of August but notl later, Hence such response of leaves, interpreted as defensive on the part of the birch, was not efficient after leaves had gained their final size.
Ecological EntomologyFactors underlying the late seasonal appearance of the lepidopterous leaf‐mining guild on oak
120 Citations1985C. West
Most lepidopterous leaf mining species found on the oak Quercus robur in Britain develop in summer, but this time of year, externally feeding caterpillars remove little leaf area since most of these free living folivores are predominantly spring feeders.
EcologySquash Beetle Feeding Behavior: An Adaptation against Induced Cucurbit Defenses
110 Citations1985Douglas W. Tallamy
This study tests the hypothesis that feeding behavior in the herbivorous coccinellid Epilachna borealis is an effective adaptation for avoiding facultative chemical defenses in its cucurbit host plants and shows that E. borealis trenching behavior blocks, at least temporarily, the translocation of cucur Bitacin defenses to feeding sites, thus preserving the palatability and quality of food resources for beetles.
OecologiaPrevious herbivore attack of red alder may improve food quality for fall webworm larvae
108 Citations1984Kathy S. Williams, Judith H. Myers
Fall webworm larvae raised on foliage from trees which had been attacked previously for two summers by moderate densities of western tent caterpillars grew faster and attained heavier pupal weights than did those fed foliage from unattacked trees, contradicting the hypothesis that moderate levels of previous herbivory induces the production of plant defensive chemicals in red alders.

The life histories of Tetranychus urticae Koch, T. pacijicus McGregor and T. turkestani (Ugarov and Nikolski) were studied at 5 constant temperatures ranging from 15.5° to 29.4°C on cotton cotyledons to compare with other investigations of the same species.

The potential for competition-like interactions between herbivores mediated by changes in quality of the shared host is demonstrated, and fifth (last) instar female O. vetusta larvae showed no preference for damaged versus undamaged greenhouse-grown L. arboreus in their feeding or choice of a site for pupation.
