  • Here, we show that across 12 plant species in two phylogenetic lineages of the Brassicaceae, variation in realized herbivore communities reveals a phylogenetic signal in the uncertainty of attack on individual plants. (biorxiv.org)
  • Individual plants of Brassicaceae Lineage II were attacked by a larger number of herbivore species from a larger species pool, resulting in a higher uncertainty of realized antagonistic interactions compared to plants in Lineage I. We argue that uncertainty of attack in terms of realized interactions on individual plants is ecologically relevant and must therefore be considered in the evolution of plant defences. (biorxiv.org)
  • However, these macro-evolutionary patterns are generally described for the full potential pool of antagonist species interacting with a plant species, whereas natural selection by these antagonists acts on the level of plant individuals. (biorxiv.org)
  • Moreover, plant species may differ in the relative proportion of realized interactions per individual plant out of the full antagonist species pool and thus differ in the uncertainty of which antagonists attack individual plants. (biorxiv.org)
  • For example, plant species that interact with a larger species pool of herbivores face a larger number of potential herbivore species at the level of individual plants, possibly resulting in a larger uncertainty of realized interactions. (biorxiv.org)
