Abstract:
Plants defend against attacks by multiple mechanisms spanning chemical and physical components. We investigated how two pine species with varying historical exposure to the mountain pine beetle integrate anatomical and chemical defences. We found that the pine species that had more frequently encountered mountain pine beetle in recent history had superior anatomical defences than the species now becoming increasingly exposed due to climate change. In both pines, metrics of anatomical defences were largely unrelated to concentrations of important chemical traits, suggesting independent allocation that possibly presents beetles with more diverse permutations of defence.
