Long-term inducible resistance in birch foliage: triggering cues and efficacy on a defoliator.

abstract：:Density-dependent mortality may regulate many populations, but due to an offshore larval phase in benthic marine organisms, it is often difficult to quantify the effects of mortality of arriving individuals. We added approximately 600 recruit-sized individuals onto coral reef that parallels patterns in naturally settl...
