Impact of Consuming ‘Toxic’ Monarch Caterpillars on Adult Chinese Mantid Mass Gain and Fecundity
Insects, 2017 Predators that feed on chemically-defended prey often experience non-lethal effects that result in learned avoidance of the prey species. Some predators are able to consume toxic prey without ill-effect.

Bufalin‐Induced Epithelial‐to‐Mesenchymal Transition in Kidney Epithelial Cells
Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 1764-1786, December 2025.ABSTRACT The kidney plays a central role in fluid, electrolyte, and blood pressure regulation, processes tightly coupled to Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase activity. Beyond its canonical transport function, Na⁺/K⁺‐ATPase also acts as a signaling receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTSs) such as bufalin, which have been implicated in fibrosis and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal

Seasonal and herbivore-induced dynamics of foliar glucosinolates in wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea) [PDF]
, 2018 Levels of plant secondary metabolites are not static and often change in relation to plant ontogeny. They also respond to abiotic and biotic changes in the environment, e.g., they often increase in response to biotic stress, such as herbivory.

Host plants and experimental warming impact fitness and infection outcomes in a migratory butterfly
Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1159-1171, December 2025.Host plant species interacted with temperature treatment to shape monarch survival and infection probabilities. Temperature modified the expected role of tropical milkweed, which did not confer OE resistance to monarchs under elevated temperatures.
