Facing herbivory as you grow up: the ontogeny of resistance in plants. (2005, background): “development of mandibles) are considered as factors influencing their ability to feed on plants at a given ontogenetic stage [ 8 ].”
Understanding gregariousness in a larval Lepidopteran: the roles of host plant, predation, and microclimate (2003, background): “Such transitions from gregarious to solitary behaviour are common in larval Lepidoptera (Fitzgerald, 1993), and may indicate shifts that occur during development in the balance of the costs and benefits of group living (Stamp, 1981), or the presence of ontogenetic constraints such as those related t”
Community‐level plant palatability increases with elevation as insect herbivore abundance declines (2017, result): “This result parallels finding at the species level in which leaf toughness was associated with investment in physical leaf defence (Coley 1983; Choong 1996; Hochuli 2001; Cornelissen et al. 2003; Clissold et al. 2009; Ibanez et al. 2013; but see Louda & Rodman 1996).”
