Natural selection on plant resistance to herbivores in the native and introduced range [PDF]
, 2015 . When plants are introduced into new regions, the absence of their co-evolved natural enemies can result in lower levels of attack. As a consequence of this reduction in enemy pressure, plant performance may increase and selection for resistance to ...
