Abstract

Plants provide feeding sites for a broad range of parasites, commensals and symbionts. In the process, they can be subjected to selection whenever feeding choices are based upon heritable traits of the plants and the feeding affects plant fitness. The outcome of such selection depends on the correlation between choices made by various taxa. Recent work suggests that this multispecies selection, although common in natural communities, now needs to be incorporated more fully into ecological and evolutionary perspectives.

摘要

植物为广泛的寄生虫、共生生物和共生物提供了取食场所。在这个过程中，只要取食选择基于植物的可遗传特性，并且取食影响植物的适合度，那么植物就会受到选择。这种选择的结果取决于各种分类群所做选择之间的相关性。最近的研究表明，这种多物种选择虽然在自然群落中很常见，但现在需要更全面地纳入生态和进化视角。
