Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, background): “…the deployment of plant defence syndromes has not been addressed across many species, partly because of the high endeavour required for identifying and quantifying defences of plant species belonging to a wide range of families, each one with a unique set of phytochemicals and forms (Wink 2003).”
Plant traits that predict resistance to herbivores (2011, background): “…to have generated the wide diversity of chemical defences observed inmany plant clades (Berenbaum& Feeny 1981; Becerra 1997; Farrell &Mitter 1998;Wink 2003; Agrawal & Fishbein 2008), as well as variation in the levels of specific chemical compounds (Zangerl & Berenbaum 2005; Agrawal et al.…”
