Genotypic variation in growth and resistance to insect herbivory in silver birch (Betula pendula) seedlings.

Oecologia - 1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

If herbivory is unevenly distributed among different types of plants, or if individual plants differ in their response to herbivory, herbivores may affect seedling growth and survival, and consequently plant population structure. In this study we examined variation in resistance to insect herbivory and in growth responses to feeding among 20 silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) genotypes representing variation...
