Induced resistance mitigates the effect of plant neighbors on susceptibility to herbivores

Abstract: At small spatial scales, attraction or deterrence of herbivores by plant neighbors can alter the susceptibility of plants to damage (i.e., associational effects). Given the patchy nature of plants and insect herbivory, we hypothesized that induced resistance may play an important role in mitigating such spatial variability. To test this notion, we first documented neighbor effects between two closely related and co-occurring plant species in natural populations, and second, we measured how these effects change… Show more

“…Similar mechanisms may drive within-season variation in associational effects in our old field system: specialist and generalist herbivores are typically multivoltine, with insect densities generally increasing over the season, and individual plants grow substantially over the season. Additionally, the relative palatability of focal and neighbour species may change through time with plastic or ontogenetic changes in anti-herbivore defences or nutritional quality (e.g., Holmes & Agrawal, 2021). Further work will be needed to determine whether associational effects that occur during only part of the season translate into fitness consequences for the focal species.…”
