Abstract

A number of aposematic butterfly and diurnal moth species sequester unpalatable or toxic substances from their host plants rather than manufacturing their own defensive substances. Despite a great diversity in their life histories, there are some general features in the selective utilization of plant secondary metabolites to achieve effective protection from predators. This review illustrates the biochemical, physiological, and ecological characteristics of phytochemical-based defense systems that can shed light on the evolution of the widely developed sequestering lifestyles among the Lepidoptera.

  • Specialist herbivores are known to use secondary metabolites as infochemicals, and some sequester defenses to protect themselves against herbivore natural enemies.

    “Specialist herbivores are known to use secondary metabolites as infochemicals (e.g.foraging cues), and some also sequester defenses to protect themselves against herbivore natural enemies (Nishida, 2002;Opitz and Müller, 2009), in analogy to the use of these chemicals as defense regulators and resistance factors in plants (Fig. 3).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
