Cardenolides, toxicity, and the costs of sequestration in the coevolutionary interaction between monarchs and milkweeds

Anurag A. Agrawal et al.

Summary: Highly specialized insect herbivores can use plant chemical defenses as cues for oviposition and sequestration. Research has shown that variation in milkweed toxins can negatively impact the growth and sequestration of monarch butterflies, highlighting the evolution of novel plant defenses and the specific nature of plant defense mechanisms.
