Epistasis and an oligogenic architecture underlie the strength of a plant-herbivore interaction
1. Interaction strength between consumers and resources is a fundamental driver of eco-evolutionary dynamics, and its genetic architecture is key to predicting the pace of such dynamics. Our understanding of this architecture is limited for three reasons: (i) defense phenotypes do not necessarily translate to interaction strength; (ii) interaction strength is difficult to measure in ways tied to…
