Host Effects On Herbivory And Pollination In A Hemiparasitic Plant, Lynn Adler Jan 2002

Host Effects On Herbivory And Pollination In A Hemiparasitic Plant, Lynn Adler

Lynn Adler

The indirect effects of hosts on interactions between parasites and other species are not well understood, and it may be difficult to predict the outcome of host species effects on parasite performance due to the complexity of potential direct and indirect effects. For example, parasitic plants obtain defensive compounds as well as nutrients from their hosts, and thus many attributes of parasitic plants are dependent on the quality of their host species. Here I measure the effect of a lupine host species (Lupinus argenteus) compared to other host species on herbivory, pollination, and female plant fitness in the hemiparasite Indian …
