Chemical Warfare Agents in Plants: Biodefensive Terpenes from Sagebrush [PDF]
To prevent being eaten, some plants create compounds that are toxic to herbivores, and herbivores respond by creating new ways to metabolize these toxins. For example, sagebrush produces bio-defensive terpenes to deter foraging by sage grouse.
