Plants vs. Insects, Episode 5: Hypotheses to Explain it All!

This is the fifth episode in our series on plants and insect herbivores. In this episode, we take a step back to explore two key hypotheses that explain how plants balance defense, growth, and reproduction in response to insect herbivory. The Optimal Defense Hypothesis (ODH) and the Growth-Differentiation Balance Hypothesis (GDBH) offer fascinating frameworks for understanding how plants allocate resources to maximize survival and fitness. With real-world examples and relatable analogies, we’ll uncover the strategies plants use to navigate their coevolutionary battle with insect herbivores.
