Title Divergent defensive strategies of young leaves in two species of Inga
Date 2005
Description In the recently radiated genus Inga (Fabaceae), few nucleotide substitutions have accumulated among species, yet large divergences have occurred in defensive phenotypes, suggesting strong selection by herbivores. We compared herbivory and defenses of young leaves for I. goldmanii, a more derived species that follows a "defense" strategy, and I. umbellifera, a more basal species that follows an "escape" strategy.
