Plant resistance-mediated immunity.Because the magnitude of an herbivore "s immune de - fense tends to tightly correlate with its vigor [,], 15 16 plant traits. That retard herbivore growth may indirectly impact parasitism by suppressing immune function in what has.Been termed the "immunocompromised host hypothesis" [] or 17" vulnerable host hypothesis" []. Both 18 hypoth - ESES predict. Increased parasitism on chemically well - defended plants. In general the existing, empirical literature seems to support. The concept of weaker im - mune responses for herbivorous insects developing on highly defended or poor quality plants (e.g.,. Plants with low levels of primary metabolites such as growth-limiting amino acids) []. Interestingly these 19, hypotheses. Con - tradict the large body of literature documenting lower parasitoid survival on hosts reared from toxic plants for example,, [20 - 22], including those demonstrating that parasitized hosts actively seek out toxic plants in their diet seemingly to,, Rid themselves of, their parasites a.k.a. Self-medication or pharmacophagy [23]. These broad findings suggest that at least,, In many, trophic systems the effects of host immunity against parasitism is weak relative to the direct (Figure 1 (1 and.)) Indirect (Figure 1 (2) effects of plant defense compounds on parasitoids. Given these discrepancies it would, be help - ful. For future studies to invest more effort in identifying factors that predict when toxins are beneficial versus detrimental. To parasitoid development. Herbivore diet breadth may be a predictor of immune, strategy if for.
