Primary and secondary host plants differ in leaf-level photosynthetic response to herbivory : evidence from Alnus and Betula grazed by the alder beetle, Agelastica alni

Field-grown trees of Alnus incana (L.) Moench, Alnus glutinosa (L.) Geartner and Betula pendula Roth displayed pronounced differences in responses of light-saturated net photosynthesis (Asat ) to herbivory by the alder beetle (Agelastica alni L., Galerucinae), a specialized insect which primarily de...
