Evolution of floral and mating system variation in Camissoniopsis cheiranthifolia (Onagraceae): An evaluation of patterns and processes
… higher and less variable fruit set and reduced florivory by a microlepidopteran. However, evidence that florivores preferentially attacked larger flowers was equivocal. LF experienced stronger PL than SF populations suggesting that one condition for the evolution of selfing via RA is met in …

Consequences of global redistribution on the ecology and evolution of the invasive weed Pastinaca sativa and its associated insect fauna
… were larger after three to six years of webworm florivory. Evolution of large size as a component of florivore tolerance may occur more rapidly than evolution of enhanced chemical defense. While adult moths were deterred by leaf volatiles, oviposition counts did not correspond with lower fitness …

In defence of flowers: The ecology and biochemistry of a chemical defence, cyanogenesis, in Proteaceae
As sessile organisms, plants produce a remarkable diversity of chemicals to defend their tissues against herbivory. The large body of research into plant defences has primarily focused on plant-herbivore interactions and foliar defences, whereas floral chemical defences have received little …
