Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Pieris rapae larvae responded differently in feeding assays than the other two Pieris species.
- Association Differences in Pieris rapae larval responses were associated with host glucosinolate profiles.
- Association Larval response differences were not associated with host physical trait variation.
- Mechanism Pieris host ranges depend on larval responses to host glucosinolate diversification, supporting chemically mediated coevolution.
