Sequestration of plant defensive chemicals by herbivorous insects is a way of defending themselves against their natural enemies. Such herbivores have repeatedly evolved bright colours to advertise their unpalatability to predators, i.e. they are aposematic. This often comes with a cost. In this study, we examined the costs and benefits of sequestration of iridoid glycosides (IGs) by the generalist aposematic herbivore, the wood tiger moth, Parasemia plantaginis. We also asked whether the defence against one enemy (a predator) is also effective against another (a parasitoid). We found that the larvae excrete most of the IGs and only small amounts are found in the larvae. Nevertheless, the amounts present in the larvae are sufficient to deter ant predators and also play a role in defence against parasitoids. However, excreting and handling these defensive plant compounds is costly, leading to longer development time and lower pupal mass. Interestingly, the warning signal efficiency and the amount of IGs in the larvae of P. plantaginis are negatively correlated; larvae with less efficient warning signals contain higher levels of chemical defence compounds. Our results may imply that there is a trade-off between production and maintenance of coloration and chemical defence. Although feeding on a diet containing IGs can have life-history costs, it offers multiple benefits in the defence against predators and parasitoids.

The roles of foraging environment, host species, and host diet for a generalist pupal parasitoid
Reudler Talsma, Johanna Hendrika; van Nouhuys, S. (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2018)Even for parasitoids with a wide host range, not all host species are equally suitable, and host qualityoften depends on the plant the host feeds on. We compared oviposition choice and offspring perfor-mance of a generalist ... -
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi influence host infection during epidemics in a wild plant pathosystem
Eck, Jenalle L.; Kytöviita, Minna‐Maarit; Laine, Anna‐Liisa (Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)While pathogenic and mutualistic microbes are ubiquitous across ecosystems and often co-occur within hosts, how they interact to determine patterns of disease in genetically diverse wild populations is unknown. To test ... -

Preconditioning of the generalist herbivore Trialeurodes vaporariorum to greenhouse monocultures and its subsequent performance on wild polycultures
Ovcarenko, Irina; Lindström, Leena; Saikkonen, Kari; Jauhiainen, Lauri; Kaseva, Janne; Vänninen, Irene (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd.; Nederlandse Entomologische Vereniging, 2016)Generalist herbivores can face many challenges when choosing their host plant. This can be particularly difficult if their choice and performance are affected by host experience. Greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum ... -
Dietary niche and gut microbial responses to novel environment in bank voles artificially selected for herbivorous capability
Vuori, Tommi (2023)Evolution of dietary niche and gut microbiota may be driven by natural selection acting on behavioral or physiological traits. However, relative importance of genetic and environmental components remain unclear. In this ...
