Gall-forming aphids are protected (and benefit) from defoliating caterpillars: the role of plant-mediated mechanisms
Abstract Background Interspecific interactions among insect herbivores are common and important. Because they are surrounded by plant tissue (endophagy), the interactions between gall-formers and other herbivores are primarily plant-mediated. Gall-forming insects manipulate their host to gain a bett...
