The multifunctional roles of polyphenols in plant-herbivore interactions
There is no argument to the fact that insect herbivores cause significant losses to plant
productivity in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. To counter this continuous …

Picking sides: feeding on the abaxial leaf surface is costly for caterpillars
Main conclusion The study provides us with the evidence that caterpillars tend to feed on the
abaxial leaf surface despite the damage caused to them because of higher trichome density …
