Contrasting effects of specialist and generalist herbivores on resistance evolution in invasive plants

Z Zhang, X Pan, D Blumenthal, M Van Kleunen… - Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Invasive alien plants are likely to be released from specialist herbivores and at the same
time encounter biotic resistance from resident generalist herbivores in their new ranges. The
Shifting Defense hypothesis predicts that this will result in evolution of decreased defense
against specialist herbivores and increased defense against generalist herbivores. To test
this, we performed a comprehensive meta‐analysis of 61 common garden studies that
provide data on resistance and/or tolerance for both introduced and native populations of 32 …
