Troublesome toxins: time to re-think plant-herbivore interactions in vertebrate ecology
BMC Ecology, 2009 Earlier models of plant-herbivore interactions relied on forms of functional response that related rates of ingestion by herbivores to mechanical or physical attributes such as bite size and rate. These models fail to predict a growing number of findings
