Geographic mosaic of plant evolution: extrafloral nectary variation mediated by ant and herbivore assemblages.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

Herbivory is an ecological process that is known to generate different patterns of selection on defensive plant traits across populations. Studies on this topic could greatly benefit from the general framework of the Geographic Mosaic Theory of Coevolution (GMT). Here, we hypothesize that herbivory represents a strong pressure for extrafloral nectary (EFN) bearing plants, with differences in herbivore and ant...
