Nickel Hyperaccumulated by Thlaspi montanum Var. montanum Is Acutely Toxic to an Insect Herbivore
Abstract
Some plants growing on serpentine soils sequester (hyperaccumulate) nickel from those soils in their tissues. Several ecological functions for metal hyperaccumulation have been suggested, including defense against herbivores. This study tests the herbivore defense hypothesis using the Ni hyperaccumulator Thlaspi montanum var. montanum. Leaves differing 167-fold in Ni content (3,000 vs 18 ppm) were obtained by growing plants on high- and low-Ni soils. Leaves were fed to larvae of Pieris rapae, a generalist folivore. Larvae fed high-Ni leaves did not grow and suffered 100 % mortality after 12 d, whereas those fed low-Ni leaves quadrupled in weight with a corresponding mortality of only 21 % (...)

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.
