But although plants cannot flee from their attackers, they are far from defenseless. In addition to adaptations like thorns, which may be produced in response to attack, plants actively alter their chemistry and physiology in response to damage. For instance, young potato plant leaves being eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals that inhibit beetle digestive enzymes. Over the past fifteen years, research on these induced responses to herbivory has flourished, and here Richard Karban and Ian T. Baldwin present the first comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of this rapidly developing field. They provide state-of-the-discipline reviews and highlight areas where new research will be most productive. Their comprehensive overview will be welcomed by a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology, and agriculture.Interspecific interactions.Animal-plant relationshipsHerbivoresEcologyPlant defensesElectronic books.Animal-plant relationships.HerbivoresEcology.Plant defenses.571.96WI 3100rvkKarban Richard86210Baldwin Ian T907023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451279303321Induced responses to herbivory2028881UNINA
