Coevolution in the specific predator-prey system Rhizophagus grandis-Dendroctonus micans: with emphasis on the predator’s oviposition kairomones and prey symbioses

Coevolution in the specific predator-prey system Rhizophagus grandis-Dendroctonus micans: with emphasis on the predator’s oviposition kairomones and prey symbioses

Rhizophagus grandis is one of the rare examples of totally specific predators: it only preys upon the bark beetle Dendroctonus micans in its native range (Europe and Asia). In the course of coevolution in such predator-prey systems, prey are selected for avoidance and resistance mechanisms against p...
