Plants face a daunting array of creatures that eat them, bore into
them, and otherwise use virtually every plant part for food,
shelter, or both. But although plants cannot flee from their
attackers, they are far from defenseless. In addition to
adaptations like thorns, which may be produced in response to
attack, plants actively alter their chemistry and physiology in
response to damage. For instance, young potato plant leaves being
eaten by potato beetles respond by producing chemicals that inhibit
beetle digestive enzymes.
Over the past fifteen years, research on these induced responses to
herbivory has flourished, and here Richard Karban and Ian T.
Baldwin present the first comprehensive evaluation and synthesis of
this rapidly developing field. They provide state-of-the-discipline
reviews and highlight areas where new research will be most
productive. Their comprehensive overview will be welcomed by a wide
variety of theoretical and applied researchers in ecology,
evolutionary biology, plant biology, entomology, and agriculture.
