“…The second set of experimental stocks consisted in laboratory strains derived from wild caught flies (originally collected in 2014) and subjected to a protocol of artificial selection to increase tolerance to different levels of alkaloids and other allelochemicals during larval rearing. The base populations of D. koepferae and D. buzzatii used to generate the stocks and implement selection protocols are detailed in Padró et al (2018). Briefly, experimental populations were derived from wild flies collected from different populations in north-western Argentina.…”

“… 12 There is growing evidence indicates that phytochemicals derived from stressed natural plants may interact with insects in a hormesis way owing to the long period of coevolution. 3 In our preliminary field observation, we found that C chinensis was less fed by S litura larvae, one of regular polyphagous and damaging insects, while other plants in the same area suffered serious insect infestation. Thus, the current study aimed to figure out whether the components derived from R coptidis play a defense role against S litura larvae.…”

“… 2 As an adaptive stress response, insects have accordingly evolved diverse metabolic enzymes to detoxify the phytochemicals. 3 Accumulating evidence indicates that the effect of phytochemicals on insects may fit into a general concept known as hormesis, 4 , 5 which refers to a process in which exposure to a low-dose stressor that is damaging at higher doses induces an adaptive beneficial effect on the cell or organism. 6 , 7 Hormesis is characterized by biphasic dose responses (stimulation at low dose and inhibition at high dose) with an inverted U-shaped or J-shaped dose–response curve.…”

“…In effect, Opuntia species contain nutritional components, such as lipids, terpenes, free sugars, acids that are usually found in succulents (eucomic, phorbic, and piscidic), and phenolics (Stintzing & Carle, 2005; Carreira et al, 2014), whereas Trichocereus cacti contain alkaloids (such as mescaline, candicine, and trichocereine; Reti & Castrillón, 1951; Corio et al, 2013; Padró & Soto, 2013). In fact, the greater tolerance to alkaloids exhibited by D. koepferae , as compared to D. buzzatii , has probably evolved as an adaptation to the host shift from prickly pears of Opuntia species to columnar cacti (Soto et al, 2014; Padró et al, 2018; Bouzas et al, 2021). Moreover, natural selection should favour individuals that better exploit resources, particularly when host plants differ in their suitability and immature stages are confined to the host selected by their mother (Markow, 2019).…”
