Direct and indirect root defences of milkweed (Asclepias syriaca): trophic cascades, trade‐offs and novel methods for studying subterranean herbivory (2011, background): “Here we focus on below-ground defence and food web dynamics associated with common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), a root-boring beetle Tetraopes tetraophthalmus (Agrawal 2004; Rasmann & Agrawal 2008; Rasmann et al. 2009), and a naturally occurring entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriopho”
Filling key gaps in population and community ecology (2007, background): “2005), and intraspecific genetic variation (Agrawal 2003, 2004).”
Associational Resistance and Associational Susceptibility: Having Right or Wrong Neighbors (2009, background): “Thus, competition between neighboring and focal plants may influence herbivory and the likelihood of AR or AS (Agrawal 2004, Agrawal et al. 2006, Hambäck & Beckerman 2003).”
Current trends in the evolutionary ecology of plant defence (2011, background): “From my own work on milkweed, it appears that 4 of the 10 or so common herbivores of milkweed likely have some fitness impact on the plant, yet there is trait specificity in terms of which traits impact which herbivores (Agrawal 2004b, 2005b ).”
Latex: A Model for Understanding Mechanisms, Ecology, and Evolution of Plant Defense Against Herbivory (2009, background): “Full-sibling genetic families of the common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) can vary over fourfold in their latex production when grown in a common garden (Agrawal 2005a, Van Zandt & Agrawal 2004).”
Direct Defenses in Plants and Their Induction by Wounding and Insect Herbivores (2008, background): “As an additional chemical resistance factor, the latex may contain large amounts of toxic cardenolides (Dussourd and Hoyle 2000; Agrawal 2004).”
Adaptive geographical clines in the growth and defense of a native plant (2012, methodology): “Asclepias syriaca employs constitutive and induced plant defenses, the most potent of which are latex (Zalucki and Malcolm 1999, Van Zandt and Agrawal 2004, Agrawal and Konno 2009) and cardiac glycosides (cardenolides) (Malcolm 1991, Agrawal 2005).”
COMMUNITY‐WIDE IMPACTS OF HERBIVORE‐INDUCED PLANT RESPONSES IN MILKWEED (ASCLEPIAS SYRIACA) (2004, background): “…interactions between herbivorous insects may also be quite specific, with herbivore species causing different responses in host plants and responding to these changes in dissimilar ways (Stout et al. 1998, Agrawal 2000, Agrawal and Karban 2000, Traw and Dawson 2002, Van Zandt and Agrawal 2004).”
Predicting tropical insect herbivore abundance from host plant traits and phylogeny (2012, background): “Plant exudates are often a conveyance for mechanical and chemical plant defense, including toxic secondary metabolites reducing palatability (Farrell et al. 1991, Coley and Barone 1996, Agrawal 2004, Agrawal and Fishbein 2006).”
Plant defense syndromes. (2006, methodology): “…been reported to function as a defense against monarch caterpillars and other milkweed herbivores (Dussourd and Eisner 1987, Zalucki et al. 2001, Agrawal and Van Zandt 2003, Agrawal 2004b, 2005), suggesting that the two strategies might be employed in concert to produce a synergistic defense.”
