Interspecific Differences in the Larval Performance of Pieris Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) Are Associated with Differences in the Glucosinolate Profiles of Host Plants

The tremendous diversity of plants and herbivores has arisen from a coevolutionary relationship characterized by plant defense and herbivore counter adaptation. Pierid butterfly species feed on Brassicales plants that produce glucosinolates as a chemical deterrent against herbivory. In turn, the lar...
