Cites Work

• Ecological consequences of evolution in plant defenses in a metacommunity
• Nutrient enrichment and food chains: can evolution buffer top-down control?
• Optimal defense strategy against herbivory in plants: conditions selecting for induced defense, constitutive defense, and no-defense
• Optimal level of chemical defense decreasing with leaf age
• The joint evolution of defence and inducibility against natural enemies
