Heavy metal hyperaccumulating plants: how and why do they do it? And what makes them so interesting? (2011, background): “Another mechanism deserving a particular interest is “tolerance”, in which physiological adaptations allow specialist herbivores to withstand a high-metal diet, thus disarming the elemental defence of the plant [128,129].”
Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review (2015, background): “However, as with other herbivore defenses, elemental defenses are subject to herbivore counterdefenses that can allow herbivores to circumvent metal toxicity (Boyd 2009).”
