The Effects of Milkweed Induced Defense on Parasite Resistance in Monarch Butterflies, Danaus plexippus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Chemical Ecology"
DOI: 10.1007/s10886-018-1007-4
Abstract: Many plants express induced defenses against herbivores through increasing the production of toxic secondary chemicals following damage. Phytochemical induction can directly or indirectly affect other organisms within the community. In tri-trophic systems, increased concentrations of… read more here.
