Different Effects of Induced Plant Defense on Population Densities of Specialist and Generalist Insects: An Explanation by Mathematical Modeling
ABSTRACT In the wild, plant‐insect interactions are highly influenced by plant defense chemicals. These chemicals (or toxins) are usually harmful to attacking insect herbivores, especially generalists. Plant defense is categorized into two types: Constitutive and induced defense. Constitutive defense is present in plan...
