ON THE CONDITIONAL NATURE OF NEOTROPICAL CATERPILLAR DEFENSES AGAINST THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES (2002, background): “Plant secondary compounds can appear in many parts of a caterpillar, including the hemolymph, fat body, and cuticle (Whitman et al. 1990, Bowers 1993).”
Predators as drivers of insect defenses (2020, background): “For instance, caterpillar hairs provide a physical barrier against predators (Sugiura & Yamazaki 2014) and aid in thermoregulation (Bowers 1993).”
Plant chemistry and insect sequestration (2009, unknown): “The pupal stage may be especially sensitive to the potential autotoxicity of sequestered compounds, because the larval storage places for toxins are lost due to reorganisation and metabolic activity during metamorphosis (Bowers 1993).”
HOST-RANGE EVOLUTION: ADAPTATION AND TRADE-OFFS IN FITNESS OF MITES ON ALTERNATIVE HOSTS (2000, background): “Key words: cotton; cucumber; Cucumis sativus; cucurbitacins, reduction of mite fitness; Gossypium hirsutum; herbivory; host-range evolution and specialization; induced plant resistance; induced resistance, spider mites; plant–insect interactions; spider mites; Tetranychus urticae.”
Does anti-parasitoid defense explain host-plant selection by a polyphagous caterpillar? (2003, background): “Secondary metabolites ingested by caterpillars may be passively or actively sequestered in body tissues (Bowers 1993), particularly in arctiid caterpillars (Weller et al. 1999), allowing their contact with endoparasitoids.”
