Title |
Defended fortresses or moving targets? Another model of inducible defenses inspired by military metaphors |
Date |
1994 |
Description |
We use a common framework to compare three models of plant strategies to confront herbivory: constitutive defense, optimal inducible defense, and the "moving target." Plants with constitutive defenses retain a fixed defensive phenotype. Plants with optimal inducible defenses respond to attack by increasing defenses. Plants following the moving target strategy respond to attack by altering phenotype. |
