A herbivore tag-and-trace system reveals contact- and density-dependent repellence of a root toxin

A herbivore tag-and-trace system reveals contact- and density-dependent repellence of a root toxin

Foraging behavior of root feeding organisms strongly affects plant-environment-interactions and ecosystem processes. However, the impact of plant chemistry on root herbivore movement in the soil is poorly understood. Here, we apply a simple technique to trace the movement of soil-dwelling insects in...
