Plants Tell Caterpillars When It's Safe to Forage
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Data suggest that antibody responses to malaria parasites merozoite antigens are generally short-lived and this has implications for serological studies and malaria vaccine designs. However, precise data on the kinetics of these responses is lacking.

Effects of predation risk and plant resistance on Manduca sexta caterpillar feeding behaviour and physiology
1. Because predation risk typically alters how prey forage for food, interactions between predation risk and food availability are commonly found. Less is known about how host plant quality and predation risk interact to affect prey behaviour and physiology. 2. Using the caterpillar, Manduca sexta , and its predator, Podisus maculiventris , the effects of predation risk and host plant quality o...
متن کاملSelenium accumulation protects Brassica juncea from invertebrate herbivory and fungal infection
• Certain plant species hyperaccumulate selenium (Se) up to 0.6% of their dry weight. It is not known whether Se hyperaccumulation offers the plants any advantage. In this study the hypothesis was tested that Se can protect plants from invertebrate herbivory or fungal infection. • Indian mustard ( Brassica juncea ) plants grown with or without Se were subjected to herbivory by caterpillars ( Pi...

متن کاملDensity dependence in insect performance within individual plants: induced resistance to Spodoptera exigua in tomato
Net intraspecific density dependence experienced by insect herbivores at the scale of single plants can be a function both of induced resistance in the plant and other interactions among individual herbivores. Theory suggests that non-linearity in the form of this density dependence can influence the effects of plants on herbivore population dynamics. This study examined both net density depend...
