Phylogenetic ecology of leaf surface traits in the milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) : chemistry, ecophysiology, and insect behavior

The leaf surface is the contact point between plants and the environment and plays a crucial role in mediating biotic and abiotic interactions. Here, we took a phylogenetic approach to investigate the function, trade-offs, and evolution of leaf surface traits in the milkweeds (Asclepias). Across 47...
