Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Spodoptera littoralis females preferred the host plant with inferior larval development.
- Observation The preferred host plant had more natural enemies but lower predation rates.
- Observation On the superior host plant, a major predator was more attracted to herbivore-induced volatiles.
- Mechanism Predator efficacy and odor-guided attraction determine enemy-free space.
- Mechanism Predator behavior may explain weak preference-performance correlation in host choice.
