Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range
When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase and selection for resistance to enemies may decrease. In the present study, we compared leaf damage, plant size and leaf trichome density, as well as the direction and magnitude of ...

متن کاملBiotic resistance to plant invasions? Native herbivores prefer non-native plants
John D. Parker and Mark E. Hay* School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA 30332–0230, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In contrast to expectations of the enemy release hypothesis, but consistent with the notion of biotic resistance, we found that native generalist crayfishes preferred exotic over native freshwater plants by a 3 : 1 ratio wh...
متن کاملHow herbivores coopt plant defenses: natural selection, specialization, and sequestration.
We review progress in understanding sequestration by herbivorous insects, the use of plant chemical defenses for their own defense. We incorporate sequestration into the framework of plant-insect coevolution by integrating three hierarchical issues: (1) the relationship between dietary specialization and sequestration of plant defenses, (2) the physiological mechanisms involved in sequestration...
متن کاملInfluence of native flowering plant strips on natural enemies and herbivores in adjacent blueberry fields.
Conservation plantings of native wildflowers were established adjacent to highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fields to test the hypothesis that provision of resources for natural enemies increases their abundance in adjacent crop fields without increasing the abundance of pest insects. For two growing seasons, natural enemies and herbivorous insects were sampled in fields with flower...
