[PDF][PDF] Feeding by lepidopteran larvae is dangerous: a review of caterpillars' chemical, physiological, morphological, and behavioral defenses against natural enemies
Larval lepidopterans (hereafter, caterpillars) protect themselves from natural enemies with a
diverse suite of defenses which are employed before, during, or after encounters with …

Maize plants recognize herbivore-associated cues from caterpillar frass
Caterpillar behaviors such as feeding, crawling, and oviposition are known to induce
defenses in maize and other plant species. We examined plant defense responses to …

Stinging spines protect slug caterpillars (Limacodidae) from multiple generalist predators
Predators have played a significant role in the evolution of herbivorous insects, and we can
