Results Herbivore Prefferences Between Induced And Control Plants
Plants:
Arabidopsis thaliana Brassica oleracea
Herbivores:
Generalist Specialist
Mamestra brassicae Plutella xylostella
• Ho: It is not expected any preferencesbetween species. • H1: It is expected that in control situation Plutella xylostella shows preference for Arabidopsis thaliana and in induction situation these insects would eat both species of plants. Inthe case of Mamestra brassicae, it is expected that this specie would prefer Brassica oleracea in control situation and they wouldn’t feel atractted to any of the induced species.
