Plants produce a great number of phytochemicals serving a variety of different functions.
Recently, the chemodiversity of these compounds (ie, the diversity of compounds produced …

To cope with environmental challenges, plants produce a wide diversity of phytochemicals,
which are also the source of numerous medicines. Despite decades of research in chemical …

Plants produce large numbers of phytochemical compounds affecting plant physiology and
interactions with their biotic and abiotic environment. Recently, chemodiversity has attracted …

Abstract Model species continue to underpin groundbreaking plant science research. At the
same time, the phylogenetic resolution of the land plant tree of life continues to improve. The …

More than five decades ago, Ehrlich and Raven proposed a revolutionary idea–that the
evolution of novel plant defense could spur adaptive radiation in plants. Despite motivating …

Phytochemical diversity is thought to result from coevolutionary cycles as specialization in
herbivores imposes diversifying selection on plant chemical defenses. Plants in the …

Considerable inter-and intraspecific variation with respect to the quantity and composition of
plant natural products exists. The processes that drive this variation remain largely unknown …

Escalation (macroevolutionary increase) or divergence (disparity between relatives) in trait
values are two frequent outcomes of the plant‐herbivore arms race. We studied the …

The study of reciprocal adaptation in interacting species has been an active and inspiring
area of evolutionary research for nearly 60 years. Perhaps owing to its great natural history …

Cardenolides are classically studied steroidal defenses in chemical ecology and plant-
herbivore coevolution. Although milkweed plants (Asclepias spp.) produce up to 200 …
