Tolerance and induced resistance in a native and an exotic pine species: relevant traits for invasion ecology

1. Current hypotheses predict contrasting  roles for natural enemies in determining the success or failure of plant invasions. Differences in plant-induced resistance and tolerance to native herbivores between native and exotic species might contribute to resolve this controversy.
