“…They elicit more or less specific responses in a wide range of natural enemies (parasitic nematodes, predatory mites, predatory insects, and insectivorous birds; see e.g. Sabelis et al 2007) and they attract natural enemies, thereby reducing the ultimate damage to the plant due to herbivory (Drukker et al 1995;Sabelis et al 1999aSabelis et al , 1999bSabelis et al , 2002Thaler 1999;Baldwin 2001, 2004). Moreover, silencing the jasmonate signaling cascade has important consequences for the community structure of arthropods on plants (Kessler et al 2004).…”

“…In such systems, the plants provide information about herbivores to potential bodyguards, and the question arises why this information should be honest. It is well known that the release of HIPVs can be associated with three types of cost for an individual plant [9,10,12,15]. First, there are direct physiological costs incurred during HIPV production [15,16].…”

“…If there are many 'cry-wolf' signallers, it may be beneficial for herbivores to evolve attraction towards signalling plants: predators are less likely to respond, and the signal points to a potential resource. The empirical evidence to date suggests that herbivores tend to avoid alarm-sending plants [2,12,17], but it is too early to conclude that this is a general pattern. A theoretical investigation of the conditions favouring different signalling responses can contribute to understanding the evolution of signalling systems.…”

For a communication system to be stable, senders should convey honest information. Providing dishonest information, however, can be advantageous to senders, which imposes a constraint on the evolution of communication systems. Beyond single populations and bitrophic systems, one may ask whether stable communication systems can evolve in multitrophic systems. Consider cross-species signalling where herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) attract predators to reduce the damage from arthropod herbivores. Such plant signals may be honest and help predators to identify profitable prey/plant types via HIPV composition and to assess prey density via the amount of HIPVs. There could be selection for dishonest signals that attract predators for protection from possible future herbivory. Recently, we described a case in which plants release a fixed, high amount of HIPVs independent of herbivore load, adopting what we labelled a ‘cry-wolf’ strategy. To understand when such signals evolve, we model coevolutionary interactions between plants, herbivores and predators, and show that both ‘honest’ and ‘cry-wolf’ types can emerge, depending on the assumed plant–herbivore encounter rates and herbivore population density. It is suggested that the ‘cry-wolf’ strategy may have evolved to reduce the risk of heavy damage in the future. Our model suggests that eco-evolutionary feedback loops involving a third species may have important consequences for the stability of this outcome.

“…One of the well-known changes is the emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) attractive to carnivorous natural enemies of herbivores (for reviews, Arimura et al 2005;Sabelis et al 2007;Arimura et al 2009). Clarifying the factors of herbivore origin that are involved in the production of HIPVs (hereafter referred to as 'elicitors' in this article) has been an intriguing issue and has attracted many researchers' attention.…”

has not yet been obtained. We showed here the presence and some aspects of the chemical nature of these elicitors. Exogenous application of the fed diet (liquid diet previously fed on by the Pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum) on the damaged part of leaves of broad bean plants, made the plants more attractive to a parasitic wasp, Aphidius ervi, than application of the unfed diet. This result suggested that elicitors existed in the fed diet. Chemical characterization using ultrafiltration and subsequent bioassay revealed that the responsible factor was larger than 3 kDa. Heating of the fed diet did not inactivate its ability to induce attractive volatiles, which suggested thermotolerance of the elicitor. These results contribute to the mechanistic understanding of plant defenses against aphids.
