Question
The figures below show a tobacco hornworm that can only eat well chemically
defended tobacco plants (specialist) and the a gypsy moth larvae that can eat leaves
of many plants that are not well chemically defended, but often can't eat leaves of
plants with specialized chemical defenses (generalist).
Assume you have observe a patch of land that was planted with tobacco and some
tree species that don't have specialized chemical defenses. How might the abundance
of the tobacco plant most likely be affected differently by the generalist herbivore and
by the specialist herbivore?
Tobacco Hornworm
Gypsy Moth
The gypsy moth may increase the abundance of tobacco by choosing to eat the tree
saplings
The gypsy moth larvae may decrease the abundance of the tobacco plant by eating the
leaves of the tree saplings
The tobacco hornworm may increase the abundance of tobacco by chasing gypsy moth
larvae away from the plants.
The tobacco hornworm might decrease the abundance of tobacco by feeding on tobacco
plants.
