Baculovirus resistance in the noctuid Spodoptera exempta is phenotypically plastic and responds to population density

1998-09-22

Abstract excerpt

Parasite resistance mechanisms can be costly to maintain. We would therefore predict that organisms should invest in resistance only when it is likely to be required. Insects that show density-dependent phase polyphenism, developing different phenotypes at high and low population densities, have the opportunity to match their levels of investment in resistance with the likelihood of exposure to pathogens. As high...
