Adaptive geographical clines in the growth and defense of a native plant (2012, background): “…about latitudinal patterns in plant defense and herbivory, including some recent controversy about whether there is any general pattern (Levin 1976, Coley and Aide 1991, Lewinsohn 1991, Bolser and Hay 1996, Coley and Barone 1996, Schemske et al. 2009, Moles et al. 2011, Rasmann and Agrawal 2011).”
Identifying targets and agents of selection: innovative methods to evaluate the processes that contribute to local adaptation (2017, background): “However, subsequent field manipulations are necessary to confirm reputed agents of local adaptation (Agrawal 2011), as laboratory and greenhouse environments can be poor prox-”
Urbanization Shapes the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Arthropod Herbivore Interactions (2019, background): “Herbivores are responsible for consuming 5–20% of the total biomass produced annually (Cyr and Pace, 1993; Agrawal, 2011; Turcotte et al., 2014), making FIGURE 1 | Expected effects of urban environments on the ecology and evolution of herbivorous arthropods.”
Evolutionary ecology of plant defences against herbivores (2011, background): “In the capstone article of this feature, Agrawal (2011) ties together the breadth of topics covered to achieve both of these objectives.”
The multiple faces of indirect defences and their agents of natural selection (2011, background): “Producing defence traits is assumed to be costly (and indirect defences are no exception) but how the expression of plant defences affects the allocation of resources away from reproductive success is still hotly debated (Agrawal 2011).”
The Multiple Impacts of Leaf‐Cutting Ants and Their Novel Ecological Role in Human‐Modified Neotropical Forests (2014, background): “HERBIVORES HAVE A VITAL AND MULTI-FACETED ROLE IN MODULATING SPECIES and trait evolution (Agrawal 2011), structuring plant communities (Huntly 1991, Maron & Crone 2006, Allan & Crawley 2011), and shaping ecosystem functioning (Belovsky & Slade 2000, Weisser & Siemann 2004).”
Plant traits predict inter‐ and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community (2014, unknown): “Our results presenting single and interacting physical and chemical traits as deterrents of herbivores, agree with a pluralistic approach in the study of plant defences that considers a wide spectrum of defence traits and other ecological correlates (Agrawal 2011).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi affect plant tolerance and chemical defences to herbivory through different mechanisms (2016, background): “Lack of a trade-off can be explained by the general vigour hypothesis, which suggests that increases in resource acquisition can mask costs of production of chemical defence (van Noordwijk & de Jong 1986; Agrawal 2011).”
Mechanisms of plant defense against insect herbivores (2012, background): “If induced response occurs very early, it is of great benefit to the plant, and reduces the subsequent herbivore and pathogen attack, besides improving overall fitness of the plant.(12) Plants with high variability in defensive chemicals exhibit a better defense compared with those with moderate var”
