Plants vs. Insects, Episode 4: How Insect Herbivores Fight Back

This is the fourth episode in our series on plants and insect herbivores. In this episode, we explore how insects overcome the chemical and mechanical defenses of plants. From detoxifying toxic compounds to behavioral strategies like leaf trenching and circadian feeding, we delve into the ingenious adaptations insects use to survive. We also examine how these adaptations drive the ongoing coevolutionary arms race, shaping ecosystems and biodiversity in fascinating and unexpected ways.
