Chemical characteristics of the foliage as the secondary metabolites of defense have been shown to be crucial elements of such preferences.}, number={43}, journal={Botanical Sciences}, author={Dirzo, Rodolfo and Fernández-Bremauntz, Adrián and Gómez-Rodríguez, Gabriela and González-Kladiano, Verónica}, year={1982}, month={Dec.}, pages={81 - 88} }
