Characterizing herbivore resistance mechanisms: spittlebugs on brachiaria spp. as an example
Plants can resist herbivore damage through three broad mechanisms: antixenosis, antibiosis and tolerance. Antixenosis is the degree to which the plant is avoided when the herbivore is able to select other plants. Antibiosis is the degree to which the plant affects the fitness of the herbivore feedin...
