Preference and performance in plant-herbivore interactions across latitude--a study in U.S. Atlantic salt marshes.
High-latitude plants are often more palatable to herbivores than low-latitude conspecifics. Does increased plant palatability lead to better herbivore performance? Our field and laboratory work investigated (A) whether high-latitude plants have traits indicating that they should be higher-quality fo...
