Genetic and environmental sources of variation in the autogenous chemical defense of a leaf beetle.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Nov 2007

Triponez Y, Naisbit R E, Jean-Denis J B, Rahier M, Alvarez N

Abstract excerpt

Chemical defense plays a central role for many herbivorous insects in their interactions with predators and host plants. The leaf beetle genus Oreina (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) includes species able to both sequester pyrrolizidine alkaloids and autogenously produce cardenolides. Sequestered compounds are clearly related to patterns of host-plant use, but variation in de novo synthesized cardenolides is less...
