Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Chrysochus larvae were not affected by latex production or cardenolide amounts and diversity in Apocynum.
- Association Cardenolide apolarity was detrimental to Chrysochus larval growth.
- Association Chrysochus larval feeding decreased average root cardenolide apolarity in A. cannabinum.
- Association Chrysochus larvae performed better on A. cannabinum plants with decreased root cardenolide apolarity.
- Intervention effect Above-ground induction rendered Apocynum plants more toxic.
- Intervention effect Induced root cardenolide apolarity was maintained during subsequent larval herbivory.
