Family matters: effect of host plant variation in chemical and mechanical defenses on a sequestering specialist herbivore.

Oecologia - 1 Nov 2012

Dimarco Romina D, Nice Chris C, Fordyce James A

Abstract excerpt

Insect herbivores contend with various plant traits that are presumed to function as feeding deterrents. Paradoxically, some specialist insect herbivores might benefit from some of these plant traits, for example by sequestering plant chemical defenses that herbivores then use as their own defense against natural enemies. Larvae of the butterfly species Battus philenor (L.) (Papilionidae) sequester toxic...
