The role of genetic and chemical variation of Pinus sylvestris seedlings in influencing slug herbivory.

Oecologia - 1 May 2007

O'Reilly-Wapstra Julianne M, Iason Glenn R, Thoss Vera

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated the genetic and chemical basis of resistance of Pinus sylvestris seedlings to herbivory by a generalist mollusc, Arion ater. Using feeding trials with captive animals, we examined selective herbivory by A. ater of young P. sylvestris seedlings of different genotypes and correlated preferences with seedling monoterpene levels. We also investigated the feeding responses of A. ater to...
