Abstract

Plants produce a great number of phytochemicals serving a variety of different functions. Recently, the chemodiversity of these compounds (i.e., the diversity of compounds produced by a plant) has been suggested to be an important aspect of the plant phenotype that may shape interactions between plants, their environment, and other organisms. However, we lack an agreement on how to quantify chemodiversity, which complicates conclusions about the functional importance of it. Here, we discuss how chemodiversity (deconstructed into components of richness, evenness and disparity) may relate to different ecologically relevant aspects of the phenotype. Then, we systematically review the literature on chemodiversity to examine methodological practices, explore patterns of variability in diversity across different levels of biological organization, and investigate the functional role of this diversity in interactions between plants and other organisms. Overall, the reviewed literature suggests that high chemodiversity is often beneficial for plants, although a heterogeneity of methodological approaches partly limits what general conclusions can be drawn. Importantly, to support future research on this topic, we provide a framework with a decision tree facilitating choices on which measures of chemodiversity are best used in different contexts and outline key questions and avenues for future research. A more thorough understanding of chemodiversity will provide insights into its evolution and functional role in ecological interactions between plants and their environment.

了解植物的化学多样性:量化、变异和生态功能
植物会产生大量具有各种不同功能的植物化学物质。最近,这些化合物的化学多样性(即植物产生的化合物的多样性)被认为是植物表型的一个重要方面,可能会影响植物、环境和其他生物之间的相互作用。然而,我们对如何量化化学多样性还没有达成一致意见,这使我们对其功能重要性的结论变得更加复杂。在此,我们将讨论化学多样性(分解为丰富度、均匀度和差异度)如何与表型的不同生态相关方面相关联。然后,我们将系统回顾有关化学多样性的文献,研究其方法论实践,探索生物组织不同层次多样性的变异模式,并探讨这种多样性在植物与其他生物之间相互作用中的功能作用。总体而言,所审查的文献表明,高度的化学多样性通常对植物有益,尽管方法的多样性在一定程度上限制了一般性结论的得出。重要的是,为了支持今后对这一主题的研究,我们提供了一个决策树框架,便于选择在不同情况下最适合使用的化学多样性测量方法,并概述了未来研究的关键问题和途径。更透彻地了解化学多样性将有助于深入了解其在植物与其环境的生态互动中的演化和功能作用。

期刊介绍: The vision for Ecological Monographs is that it should be the place for publishing integrative, synthetic papers that elaborate new directions for the field of ecology. Original Research Papers published in Ecological Monographs will continue to document complex observational, experimental, or theoretical studies that by their very integrated nature defy dissolution into shorter publications focused on a single topic or message. Reviews will be comprehensive and synthetic papers that establish new benchmarks in the field, define directions for future research, contribute to fundamental understanding of ecological principles, and derive principles for ecological management in its broadest sense (including, but not limited to: conservation, mitigation, restoration, and pro-active protection of the environment). Reviews should reflect the full development of a topic and encompass relevant natural history, observational and experimental data, analyses, models, and theory. Reviews published in Ecological Monographs should further blur the boundaries between “basic” and “applied” ecology. Concepts and Synthesis papers will conceptually advance the field of ecology. These papers are expected to go well beyond works being reviewed and include discussion of new directions, new syntheses, and resolutions of old questions. In this world of rapid scientific advancement and never-ending environmental change, there needs to be room for the thoughtful integration of scientific ideas, data, and concepts that feeds the mind and guides the development of the maturing science of ecology. Ecological Monographs provides that room, with an expansive view to a sustainable future.
