Herbivore kairomones affect germination speed, seedling growth, and herbivory. [PDF]
OecologiaAbstract Seeds and seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory. Unlike mature plants, which can wait until herbivory is experienced to induce defense, seeds and seedlings face mortality if they wait. Slug mucus functions as a kairomone, a non-attack-related substance emitted by consumers that is detected by
