The Role of Mixtures and Variation in the Production of Terpenoids in Conifer-Insect-Pathogen Interactions

  • Chapter
Phytochemical Diversity and Redundancy in Ecological Interactions

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 30))

Abstract

The regulation of natural populations was debated intensively during the 1950s and 1960s, and continues to be an important topic of investigation. Although several treatises on this subject could be cited, one of the most important to the area of plant-herbivore-pathogen interactions was published by Hairston, Smith, and Slobodkin.1 In this stimulating paper the authors put forward three tenants, the third of which states that “Herbivores are seldom food-limited, appear most often to be predator-limited, and therefore are not likely to compete for common resources.” Contributing to this conclusion is the disparity between plants and herbivores in mobility, generation times, and the ability of insects and pathogens to adapt to host trees. Generation times of the myriad of insect herbivores that use woody plants are short, and the insects are highly mobile and depend upon host plants for most life processes.2 Alternatively, woody perennials are long-lived, immobile, and seemingly at the mercy of their natural enemies. This explicit yet sweeping scenario provided a major impetus toward investigations that have led to our current knowledge of plant-herbivore-pathogen interactions at the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Five years later a seminal paper by Ehrlich and Raven3 enhanced the field of plant-herbivore interactions and chemical ecology with a provocative discussion of the coevolution between butterflies and host plants. Now the field has advanced to investigations at the tritrophic level; and the linking thread among tritrophic interactions is to a large extent the natural products produced by plants.4
