Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Beetle development rates were equally low on S. caprea and the F1 hybrid.
- Intervention effect Plants subjected to simulated mammalian herbivore damage developed more slowly than controls.
- Association P. vitellinae is interpreted to develop faster on hosts with high phenolic glucoside concentrations.
- Mechanism An oviposition preference for S. repens over S. caprea, with intermediate preference for hybrids, is hypothesized to benefit P. vitellinae adaptively.
- Mechanism Faster development on S. repens supports additional adaptive benefits of phenolic glucosides beyond predator protection.
- Recommendation Studies of the willow hybrid complex should consider damage caused by other herbivores.
