Macroevolution of plant defense strategies
AA Agrawal - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2007 - cell.com
Theories of plant defense expression are typically based on the concepts of tradeoffs among
traits and of phylogenetic conservatism within clades. Here, I review recent developments in …

Phytochemicals as mediators for host range expansion of a native invasive forest insect herbivore
N Erbilgin - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Mountain pine beetle (MPB) has recently invaded jack pine forests in western Canada. This
invasion signifies a climate change‐induced range expansion by a native insect. The …

[HTML][HTML] How specialists can be generalists: resolving the" parasite paradox" and implications for emerging infectious disease
The parasite paradox arises from the dual observations that parasites (broadly construed,
including phytophagous insects) are resource specialists with restricted host ranges, and yet …

Ecological fitting by phenotypically flexible genotypes: implications for species associations, community assembly and evolution
SJ Agosta, JA Klemens - Ecology Letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Ecological fitting is the process whereby organisms colonize and persist in novel
environments, use novel resources or form novel associations with other species as a result …

On the study of plant defence and herbivory using comparative approaches: how important are secondary plant compounds
AA Agrawal, MG Weber - Ecology Letters, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Species comparisons are a cornerstone of biology and there is a long tradition of using the
comparative framework to study the ecology and evolution of plant defensive traits. Early …

Plant–herbivore coevolution and plant speciation
More than five decades ago, Ehrlich and Raven proposed a revolutionary idea–that the
evolution of novel plant defense could spur adaptive radiation in plants. Despite motivating …

Chemical similarity between historical and novel host plants promotes range and host expansion of the mountain pine beetle in a naïve host ecosystem
Host plant secondary chemistry can have cascading impacts on host and range expansion
of herbivorous insect populations. We investigated the role of host secondary compounds on …

Sequestration of defenses against predators drives specialized host plant associations in preadapted milkweed bugs (Heteroptera: Lygaeinae)
Host plant specialization across herbivorous insects varies dramatically, but while the
molecular mechanisms of host plant adaptations are increasingly known, we often lack a …

The evolution of coevolution in the study of species interactions
AA Agrawal, X Zhang - Evolution, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The study of reciprocal adaptation in interacting species has been an active and inspiring
area of evolutionary research for nearly 60 years. Perhaps owing to its great natural history …
