Dr. Elizabeth Bernays of the University of California,                  Berkeley, intends to establish, in a varied group of insects,                   whether or not behavioral rejection of plants is correlated with                oral toxicity (including any adverse effects on fitness) of such                plants.  The question has never been specifically addressed, but                preliminary data suggest that correlation of deterrence with                    "toxicity" for plant secondary compounds is poor.  If this proves               to be generally true, it must be asked why behavioral deterrence                is so widespread.  The selective forces maintaining host plant                  specificity the associated rejection of most plants could well be               more positive needs based on quite different principles.  In that               case, our understanding of plant defenses against insects would                 need revision.  These researches bear directly on questions of                  pest control and parasitism in agriculture and agroforestry which               could have wide ranging connotations, especially in tropical                    systems.                                                                                The investigator and her institution are well suited to                 pursue this research to a successful conclusion.
