Abstract: Herbivorous insects can interact with plants in ways that go beyond nutrition, with plant specialized (secondary) metabolites (PSMs) mediating complex non‐nutritional relationships. While PSMs often function as anti‐herbivore defenses, many insects have evolved strategies to… read more here.
