Selection mosaic exerted by specialist and generalist herbivores on chemical and physical defense of Datura stramonium.
Selection exerted by herbivores is a major force driving the evolution of plant defensive characters such as leaf trichomes or secondary metabolites. However, plant defense expression is highly variable among populations and identifying the sources of this variation remains a major challenge. Plant...
