Immune modulation enables a specialist insect to benefit from antibacterial withanolides in its host plant

26 Aug 2016

Abstract excerpt

The development of novel plant chemical defenses and counter adaptations by herbivorous insect could continually drive speciation, producing more insect specialists than generalists. One approach to test this hypothesis is to compare closely related generalist and specialist species to reveal the associated costs and benefits of these different adaptive strategies. We use the specialized moth Heliothis subflexa,...
