Optimal Defense Model

Vascular plants are known to induce a variety of phenotypic changes in response to damage, including changes in secondary metabolite concentrations. Induced plant responses may lead to increased resistance toward future herbivory if changes have [Pg.151]

The spatial-variation-in-consumers model (SVICM) was proposed by marine ecologists to explain both interspecific and intraspecific patterns of chemical defenses in seaweeds.111 It states that chemically defended seaweeds will be more evolutionarily persistent than undefended seaweeds in areas subject to significant herbivore impact. Likewise, this model explains intraspecifc variation in chemical defenses, in that well-defended individuals or populations will be more persistent over ecological time scales than undefended seaweeds in areas subject to significant herbivore impact. This model borrows heavily from the optimal defense theory, in that it suggests that seaweeds that occur in areas with high herbivory pressure will be vulnerable to herbivore attack and should thus be heavily defended. [Pg.343]

Of course, the pharmaceutical industry is not the only sector in which process engineering is needed to enhance national security and homeland defense. Also, other areas of process engineering such as model development, optimization schemes, on-line control, catalyst development, new separation methods, biomass conversion, and models using multiple length scales are equally important to include in research efforts. [Pg.28]
