Light and sex interplay: Differential herbivore damage in sun and shade in dioecious Mercurialis perennis

Light and sex interplay: Differential herbivore damage in sun and shade in dioecious Mercurialis perennis

Interactions between plants and herbivorous insects can be shaped by light environment, resulting in differential herbivory in sun and shade. In dioecious species, the combination of plant sex and light-induced changes in defense traits and nutritive value can alter the patterns of foliar damage. We...
