Shrub anti-herbivore defenses exhibit non-linear and varied responses to increased herbivore density

Plants may produce induced defenses such as longer thorns or secondary compounds to cope with higher levels of herbivory. However, it is unclear if physical and chemical plant defenses increase incrementally along a gradient of herbivore densities. We hypothesized that physical and chemical anti-her...
