Evolutionary aspects of defense by recycled plant compounds in herbivorous insects

Plant secondary compounds play a decisive role in the evolution of host associations of herbivorous insects. Here, I focus on the use of secondary compounds for the anti-predator defense of herbivores. Cardenolides, iridoid glycosides and pyrrolizidine alkaloids are used as examples to illustrate th...
