Functional diversity and trade‐offs in divergent antipredator morphologies in herbivorous insects

Abstract Predator–prey interactions may be responsible for enormous morphological diversity in prey species. We performed predation experiments with morphological manipulations (ablation) to investigate the defensive function of dorsal spines and explanate margins in Cassidinae leaf beetles against...
