Chemical defense strategies, induction timing, growth, and trade‐offs in Pinus aristata and Pinus flexilis

Abstract Trade‐offs between plant defense investment and fitness traits, including growth, are often invoked to explain evolutionary strategies targeted at resisting herbivores. Many Pinus species have specialized herbivores, including the mountain pine beetle (MPB), Dendroctonus ponderosae, and hav...
