The relative importance of host-plant genetic diversity in structuring the associated herbivore community.
Ecology - 1 Aug 2011
Tack Ayco J M, Roslin Tomas
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies suggest that intraspecific genetic diversity in one species may leave a substantial imprint on the surrounding community and ecosystem. Here, we test the hypothesis that genetic diversity within host-plant patches translates into consistent and ecologically important changes in the associated herbivore community. More specifically, we use potted, grafted oak saplings to construct 41 patches of four...
