Abstract excerpt
• Analyses of plant tolerance in response to different modes of herbivory are essential to an understanding of plant defense evolution, yet are still scarce. Allocation costs and trade-offs between tolerance and plant chemical defenses may influence genetic variation for tolerance. However, variation in defenses also occurs for the presence or absence of discrete chemical structures; yet, the effects of...
