Nutritional endosymbionts mediate folivory in leaf beetles
Meeting Abstract 28-4 Thursday, Jan. 5 14:15 – 14:30 Nutritional endosymbionts mediate folivory in leaf beetles SALEM, H*; KALTENPOTH, M; Emory University; MPI for Chemical Ecology hssalem@emory.edu http://www.mutualisms.net Like many herbivores, leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) depend on a range of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes to break down ingested material for nourishment and development. Here, we highlight the […]
