The ontogeny of plant defense and herbivory: characterizing general patterns using meta-analysis
Defense against herbivores often changes dramatically as plants develop. Hypotheses
based on allocation theory and herbivore selection patterns predict that defense should …

Future directions in the ontogeny of plant defence: understanding the evolutionary causes and consequences
Plant defence often varies by orders of magnitude as plants develop from the seedling to
juvenile to mature and senescent stages. Ontogenetic trajectories can involve switches …
