Chapter 31, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To determine:
A test for the hypothesis where a caterpillar is fed on a certain plant and after a while, it rejects the nearby uneaten plants and starts to feed on the new plants which were away from the original plant. It was hypothesized that the leaves had emitted some volatile compounds and that had signaled and initiated plant defense mechanisms in the nearby plants.
Concept introduction:
Herbivory is referred to the animals that eat plants. This is a type of stress that is faced by the plants. This causes the plants to become small and hinder their ability to gain

A plant biologist observed a peculiar pattern when a tropical shrub was attacked by caterpillars. After a caterpillar ate a leaf, it would skip over nearby leaves and attack a leaf some distance away. Simply removing a leaf did not deter caterpillars from eating nearby leaves. The biologist suspected that an insect-damaged leaf sent out a chemical that signaled nearby leaves. How could the researcher test this hypothesis?

Weed scientists often say a happy, growing plant will die faster than one that is under stress from drought. Why will a happy plant die faster than a drought-stressed plant when Callisto is applied nearby?
