A framework for predicting intraspecific variation in plant defense

PG Hahn, JL Maron - Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016 - cell.com
One of the most well-supported theories regarding the evolution of plant defenses is the

Elevational gradients in plant defences and insect herbivory: recent advances in the field and prospects for future research

X Moreira, WK Petry, KA Mooney, S Rasmann… - …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Classic research on elevational gradients in plant–herbivore interactions holds that insect
herbivore pressure is stronger under warmer, less seasonal climates characteristic of low …

[图书][B] The phytochemical landscape: linking trophic interactions and nutrient dynamics

MD Hunter - 2016 - degruyter.com
The dazzling variation in plant chemistry is a primary mediator of trophic interactions,

Latitudinal variation in plant chemical defences drives latitudinal patterns of leaf herbivory

X Moreira, B Castagneyrol, L Abdala‐Roberts… - …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
A long‐standing paradigm in ecology holds that herbivore pressure and thus plant defences
increase towards lower latitudes. However, recent work has challenged this prediction …

Plant domestication decreases both constitutive and induced chemical defences by direct selection against defensive traits

X Moreira, L Abdala-Roberts, R Gols, M Francisco - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Studies reporting domestication effects on plant defences have focused on constitutive, but
not on induced defences. However, theory predicts a trade-off between constitutive (CD) and …
