A Bt Transgene Reduces Herbivory and Enhances Fecundity in Wild Sunflowers
Gene flow from transgenic crops can introduce novel traits into related species, but the ecological importance of this process is unknown. Here, we report the first empirical evidence that wild plants...
View ArticleCompensation for Herbivory in Wild Sunflower: Response to Simulated Damage by...
Herbivore damage is generally detrimental to plant fitness, and the evolutionary response of plant populations to damage can involve either increased resistance or increased tolerance. While...
View ArticlePlant Hybrid Zones and Insect Host Range Expansion
The hybrid bridge hypothesis suggests that plant hybrids ‘‘bridge’’ the genetic gap between actual and potential host species, and that, for this reason, herbivorous insects are more likely to evolve...
