Evolutionary history predicts plant defense against an invasive pest [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 It has long been hypothesized that invasive pests may be facilitated by the evolutionary naïveté of their new hosts, but this prediction has never been examined in a phylogenetic framework. To address the hypothesis, we have been studying the invasive viburnum leaf beetle ( Pyrrhalta viburni ), which is decimating ...
