Single-generation effects on terpenoid defenses in lodgepole pine populations following mountain pine beetle infestation.
The recent mountain pine beetle outbreak in western Canada provides an opportunity to study the selection and heritability of tree defenses. We examined terpenoid-based defenses of seedling lodgepole pines which were offspring of mature trees subjected to high levels of mountain pine beetle selectiv...
