Eco-evolutionary processes affecting plant–herbivore interactions during early community succession

Abstract: The quality and outcome of organismal interactions are not only a function of genotypic composition of the interacting species, but also the surrounding environment. Both the strength and direction of natural selection on interacting populations vary with the community context, which itself is changed by these interactions. Here, we test for the role of interacting evolutionary and ecological processes in plant-herbivore interactions during early community succession in the tall goldenrod, Solidago altissima. … Show more

“…The tall goldenrod, Solidago altissima (Asteraceae), may be a useful model for studying intraspecific successional shifts in resistance phenotypes because it is an early coloniser, particularly of abandoned agricultural fields (old fields), that can persist for decades as a dominant community member, even as communities become forested (Bazzaz, ). The herbivore resistance of S. altissima has been observed to increase with successional age in independent populations in both the northern (Howard et al , ) and southern United States (Hakes & Cronin, ). This shift in resistance has been attributed to both rapid microevolution and phenotypic plasticity, with the latter associated with changes in soil conditions (Hakes & Cronin, ; Howard et al , ).…”

This shift in resistance has been attributed to both rapid microevolution and phenotypic plasticity, with the latter associated with changes in soil conditions (Hakes & Cronin, ; Howard et al , ). Thus, changes in the soil structure, chemistry and particularly the microbiome, may play an important role in shifting plant resistance to herbivores over succession.…”

“…Growth is strongly affected by succession, whereas plant secondary metabolism and herbivore resistance varies only little with the soil environment. They find that feeding by a specialist herbivore causes divergent patterns of resistance evolution within short time periods (Howard et al 2018). The results highlight that selective pressures are likely to vary during community succession.…”

“…In an eco-evolutionary approach, Howard et al (2018) investigate the relative importance of rapid evolution and environmental changes in affecting mean plant resistance and growth phenotypes. They report on a soil transplant experiment with plant lines over several years of succession with different herbivore pressures.…”
