Direct and indirect plant defenses reduce damage by a generalist but not by a specialist pod borer

2022-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The efficiency of different plant defenses is expected to vary depending on the combination and abundance of herbivores. Effectiveness of ant‐mediated defenses can also depend on ant activity and local ant assemblage, which can vary due to human activities such as intensive grazing. We used the plant Crotalaria pallida (Fabaceae), its two pod‐boring herbivores and the ants that visit the extrafloral nectaries (EFN...
