Plant traits that predict resistance to herbivores (2011, background): “Similar patterns associated with the functional role and evolution of plant secondary chemistry have been observed in several plant-herbivore systems in a microevolutionary (within-species) context (Fordyce & Malcolm 2000; Kessler, Halitschke & Baldwin 2004; Agrawal 2005; Despres, David & Gallet 200”
Plant defence theory re‐examined: nonlinear expectations based on the costs and benefits of resource mutualisms (2011, background): “syriaca is attacked by a variety of insect herbivores and expresses traits that deter damage by herbivores or reduce herbivore growth and reproduction (Dussourd &Hoyle 2000; Zalucki et al. 2001; Agrawal 2005).”
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).”
Multiple plant traits shape the genetic basis of herbivore community assembly (2015, background): “To date, such a comprehensive examination is lacking for the majority of host-plant study systems (but see Agrawal 2005; Johnson et al. 2009).”
Multitrophic interactions below and above ground: en route to the next level (2011, background): “…that only a few keystone species can drive ecosystem function and the evolution of other species, whereas the ‘passenger’ species – although being intensively affected themselves – do not represent important ecological or evolutionary forces from the perspective of the other species (Agrawal 2005).”
Current trends in the evolutionary ecology of plant defence (2011, background): “In particular, there has been little exploration of how specificity of induction could evolve by natural selection and whether it should be considered adaptive (Agrawal 2005a).”
Specificity and trade‐offs in the induced plant defence of common milkweed Asclepias syriaca to two lepidopteran herbivores (2010, methodology): “Both the amount of latex exuded upon damage and tissue cardenolide concentration are known to be heritable and to vary in response to different herbivores (Van Zandt &Agrawal 2004b; Agrawal 2005b; Mooney, Jones & Agrawal 2008).”
Asymmetry of plant-mediated interactions between specialist aphids and caterpillars on two milkweeds (2014, result): “Indeed, our previous work and that of others have shown negative effects of cardenolides both on monarchs (Zalucki, Brower & Alonso 2001; Agrawal 2005; Rasmann, Johnson & Agrawal 2009) and A.”
Plant defense syndromes. (2006, methodology): “This method has proven to be highly repeatable (Van Zandt and Agrawal 2004a, Agrawal 2005).”
Growth–defense tradeoffs for two major anti‐herbivore traits of the common milkweed Asclepias syriaca (2015, background): “2003, Agrawal and Fishbein 2006), resulting in positive correlations between SLA and growth. In contrast, shading experiments using a single plant species often find faster-growing plants to have thicker mesophyll layers and thus a lower SLA (Agrawal et al. 2012a), resulting in a negative correlatio”
