Shifts in woody plant defence syndromes during leaf development

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Herbivores target young leaves in forests world‐wide. How this strong and predictable selection pressure has shaped plant defence syndromes remains unclear. Specifically, whether young leaf herbivory has led to general global patterns of shifting leaf defences during leaf development (i.e. ontogenetic trajectories) remains unknown but likely. Using meta‐analysis, we have synthesized developmental shifts in chemica...
