Influences of Plant Traits on Immune Responses of Specialist and Generalist Herbivores
Specialist and generalist insect herbivore species often differ in how they respond to host plant traits, particularly defensive traits, and these responses can include weakened or strengthened immune responses to pathogens and parasites. Accurate methods to measure immune response in the presence a...
