Moreover, since hybridization is important to speciation and can lead to introgression of traits between plant species, differential feeding (herbivore-induced mortality) can influence the expression of resistance traits of hybrids and ultimately determine the consequences of hybridization. While it would be expected that herbivore-induced mortality would lead to greater resistance, there may be trade-offs whereby resistance to one herbivore increases susceptibility to others. The hypothesis was tested that the exotic slug, <italic>Arion subfuscus</italic>, causes non-random survival of hybrid willows and alters plant: (1) susceptibility to slugs; (2) secondary and nutritional chemistry, and growth; and (3) susceptibility to other phytophages.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Two populations of plants, control and selected, were created by placing trays of juvenile willows in the field and allowing slugs access to only some. When ≤10 individuals/tray remained (approx. 85 % mortality), ‘selected’ and undamaged ‘control’ trays were returned to a common area. Traits of these populations were then examined in year 1 and in subsequent years.</p></sec><sec><title>Key Results</title><p>The selected population was less palatable to slugs. Surprisingly, foliar concentrations of putative defence traits (phenolic glycosides and tannins) did not differ between treatments, but the selected population had higher foliar nitrogen and protein, lower carbon to nitrogen ratio and greater above-ground biomass, indicating that vigorously growing plants were inherently more resistant to slugs. Interestingly, selected plants were more susceptible to three phytophages: an indigenous pathogen (<italic>Melampsora epitea</italic>), a native herbivorous beetle (<italic>Chrysomela knabi</italic>) and an exotic willow leaf beetle (<italic>Plagiodera versicolora</italic>).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>This exotic slug changed the population structure of <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> hybrid willows in unanticipated ways. Defence expression remained unchanged, while nutritional and growth traits changed. These changes caused plants to be more susceptible to other plant enemies. Other exotic herbivore species are anticipated to have similar direct and indirect effects on native plant populations.</p></sec></div></front><back><div1

Moreover, since hybridization is important to speciation and can lead to introgression of traits between plant species, differential feeding (herbivore-induced mortality) can influence the expression of resistance traits of hybrids and ultimately determine the consequences of hybridization. While it would be expected that herbivore-induced mortality would lead to greater resistance, there may be trade-offs whereby resistance to one herbivore increases susceptibility to others. The hypothesis was tested that the exotic slug, <italic>Arion subfuscus</italic>, causes non-random survival of hybrid willows and alters plant: (1) susceptibility to slugs; (2) secondary and nutritional chemistry, and growth; and (3) susceptibility to other phytophages.</p></sec><sec><title>Methods</title><p>Two populations of plants, control and selected, were created by placing trays of juvenile willows in the field and allowing slugs access to only some. When ≤10 individuals/tray remained (approx. 85 % mortality), ‘selected’ and undamaged ‘control’ trays were returned to a common area. Traits of these populations were then examined in year 1 and in subsequent years.</p></sec><sec><title>Key Results</title><p>The selected population was less palatable to slugs. Surprisingly, foliar concentrations of putative defence traits (phenolic glycosides and tannins) did not differ between treatments, but the selected population had higher foliar nitrogen and protein, lower carbon to nitrogen ratio and greater above-ground biomass, indicating that vigorously growing plants were inherently more resistant to slugs. Interestingly, selected plants were more susceptible to three phytophages: an indigenous pathogen (<italic>Melampsora epitea</italic>), a native herbivorous beetle (<italic>Chrysomela knabi</italic>) and an exotic willow leaf beetle (<italic>Plagiodera versicolora</italic>).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusions</title><p>This exotic slug changed the population structure of <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> hybrid willows in unanticipated ways. Defence expression remained unchanged, while nutritional and growth traits changed. These changes caused plants to be more susceptible to other plant enemies. Other exotic herbivore species are anticipated to have similar direct and indirect effects on native plant populations.</p></sec></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>Exotic species</kwd><kwd>herbivory</kwd><kwd>hybridization</kwd><kwd>slug</kwd><kwd><italic>Arion subfuscus</italic></kwd><kwd>trade-offs</kwd><kwd>willow</kwd><kwd><italic>Salix</italic></kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="s1"><title>INTRODUCTION</title><p>It is well established that herbivores are important agents of mortality, that plant secondary metabolites often determine patterns of susceptibility and that differential survival leads to differential chemical expression in plants (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C56">Rosenthal and Janzen, 1979</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C46">Orians and Ward, 2010</xref>). One important source of chemical variation in plants is generated via hybridization (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C43">Orians, 2000</xref>). Overall, natural hybridization is increasingly being recognized as a creative process that produces greater genetic variation and potentially novel genotypes and may ultimately lead to the origin of new species, subspecies or local races (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C7">Arnold, 1992</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C50">Rieseberg, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C52">Rieseberg <italic>et al.</italic>, 1996</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C8">Arnold, 1997</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C41">Nagy, 1997</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C43">Orians, 2000</xref>). Whether hybridization provides novel genetic combinations for new adaptations or produces only evolutionary dead-ends depends upon the fitness of hybrids (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C16">Emms and Arnold, 1997</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C35">Kimball <italic>et al.</italic>, 2008</xref>). Exogenous selective agents, such as pathogens and herbivores, are important determinants of fitness and thus have the potential to shape patterns of resistance and subsequent evolutionary dynamics (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C5">Anderson and Hubricht, 1938</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C4">Anderson, 1949</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C31">Heiser, 1973</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C51">Rieseberg and Wendel, 1993</xref>). <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C12">Coustau <italic>et al.</italic> (1991)</xref> showed that high parasitism by the trematode, <italic>Prosorhynchus squamatus</italic>, causes intense selection, via castration, favouring the spread of <italic>Mytilus galloproveinialis</italic> genes into <italic>M. edulis</italic> populations. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C62">Stutz and Thomas (1964)</xref> suggested that selection by grazers favoured introgression of defensive traits from unpalatable <italic>Cowania stansburiana</italic> into populations of <italic>Purshia tridentata</italic> (bitterbrush), a heavily grazed plant in the western USA. In addition, introgression of jack pine resistance traits appears to explain the geographical variation in susceptibility of lodgepole pine to several insects and diseases (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C66">Wu <italic>et al.</italic>, 1996</xref>), and introgression of red spruce into black spruce resulted in reduced susceptibility to spruce budworm (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C39">Manley and Fowler, 1969</xref>).</p><p>While native herbivores can select for changes in resistance traits in hybrids, the ever-increasing abundance of invasive herbivores is expected to exert strong effects on native plant populations. In this study a selection experiment was undertaken to determine if herbivory by an exotic slug, <italic>Arion subfuscus</italic> (Mollusca: Arionidae), would lead to (1) greater survival of F<sub>2</sub> hybrid willows with high concentrations of defensive chemicals; and (2) altered susceptibility to other enemies. Selection experiments are powerful tools to aid in determining the course of selection and its consequences on other traits. One approach to performing selection experiments is to apply artificial selection favouring an increase or a decrease in one or a suite of traits in a population, and then examine the fitness of the resulting population in relation to a non-selected population for the expression of the evolved trait and correlated traits (e.g. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C59">Stowe, 1998</xref>). The strength of this approach is that selected traits can be specifically identified. An alternative approach is to generate genetically variable progeny, subject these progeny to phenotypic selection for a period of time and then compare selected phenotypes with a non-selected population. For example, using F<sub>2</sub> crosses of subspecies of <italic>Gilia capitata</italic>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C41">Nagy (1997)</xref> found that selection favoured multiple traits of the native subspecies in their native habitats. The strength of this approach is that it demonstrates the strength and direction of natural selection. This second approach was used in our study.</p><p>Natural selection may be particularly important at the seedling or juvenile stages because they are more susceptible to herbivores than are older plants (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C17">Fenner <italic>et al.</italic>, 1999</xref>). If natural selection by a herbivore alters genetic variation in a seedling population, then traits expressed in the adult population may also be altered (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C60">Stratton, 1992</xref>). Terrestrial molluscs are major herbivores in many plant communities, and herbivory by slugs often affects plant productivity, plant distribution and community composition (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C26">Hanley <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995<italic>a</italic></xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C55">Rodriguez and Brown, 1998</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C10">Bruelheide and Scheidel, 1999</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C25">Hanley and Sykes, 2009</xref>). Importantly, slugs typically completely consume small plants and thus alter recruitment into plant communities (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C27">Hanley <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995<italic>b</italic></xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C55">Rodriguez and Brown, 1998</xref>). Slugs often exhibit strong feeding preferences among plant genotypes and among species (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C17">Fenner <italic>et al.</italic>, 1999</xref>); olfactory cues (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C28">Hanley <italic>et al.</italic>, 2011</xref>), plant chemistry (e.g. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C22">Glen <italic>et al.</italic>, 1990</xref>) and growth rate (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C1">Albrectsen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>) play an important role in plant acceptability. Thus slugs and snails are suspected to have influenced the evolution of defences in several plant species (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C33">Horrill and Richards, 1986</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C64">Westerbergh and Nyberg, 1995</xref>). Provided that heritable genetic variation exists, differential survival may cause trait evolution within a single generation (reviewed in <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C21">Geber and Griffen, 2003</xref>).</p><p><italic>Arion subfuscus</italic> (Mollusca: Arionidae) is an exotic slug species in North America that causes seedling mortality in two native willow species (<italic>Salix eriocephala</italic> and <italic>S. sericea</italic>) and their hybrids (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). <italic>Arion subfuscus</italic> preferentially feeds on young plants of <italic>S. eriocephala</italic> (a species with high concentrations of condensed tannin in adult plants and older juveniles) over those of <italic>S. sericea</italic> (a species with high levels of phenolic glycosides in adult plants and older juveniles), and has an intermediate preference for F<sub>1</sub> hybrid plants (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). Phenolic glycosides, defensive compounds found in leaves of <italic>S. sericea</italic> (but not in the leaves of <italic>S. eriocephala</italic>), appear to be responsible for resistance of young <italic>S. sericea</italic> seedlings to slugs. Condensed tannins, which occur in high concentrations in the leaves of <italic>S. eriocephala</italic>, also appear to deter slug damage in older juveniles (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C44">Orians and Fritz, 1995</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C1">Albrectsen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>). As seedlings grow, their levels of defensive chemicals in leaves increase, and this increase is correlated with a reduction in damage caused by slugs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C48">Orians <italic>et al.</italic>, 2010</xref>). Based on these findings, herbivory by <italic>A. subfuscus</italic> was expected to cause a selection differential favouring plants with higher concentrations of defensive chemicals. More specifically, F<sub>2</sub> hybrid plants that survived slug herbivory were predicted: (1) to have higher phenolic glycoside and condensed tannin concentrations compared with control plants; (2) to express reduced growth and nutrient chemistry because of expected trade-offs between growth and defensive chemistry; (3) to have decreased susceptibility to <italic>A. subfuscus</italic>; and (4) to have decreased susceptibility to other phytophages because of increased levels of chemical defences. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C30">Hardig <italic>et al.</italic> (2000)</xref> found that plants phenotypically similar to pure <italic>S. eriocephala</italic> had genetic markers of <italic>S. sericea</italic> and expressed phenolic glycosides in their leaves, concurring with the prediction that the above pattern of introgression of secondary chemicals was likely.</p></sec><sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="s2"><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><sec id="s2a"><title>Study species</title><p>This study was performed at our field site 3 km west of Milford, New York, USA (42°31′N, 75°41′W) where the willow species <italic>Salix sericea</italic>, <italic>S. eriocephala</italic> and hybrids (<italic>F</italic><sub>1</sub>, <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> and backcrosses) occur naturally. <italic>Salix sericea</italic> Marshall is a 0·5–4 m high shrub, while <italic>S. eriocephala</italic> Michx. reaches 6 m in height.

Since that initial record, this species has been found in Pensylvania since 1940, in New York since 1941, in New Hampshire since 1962 and in Maine, Vermont and Connecticut since 1969. Now, <italic>A. subfuscus</italic> has become widespread and very abundant in eastern North America, causing significant damage in native habitats, as well as disturbed areas and agricultural fields (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C11">Chichester and Getz, 1969</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C53">Robinson, 1999</xref>).

Fifteen different full-sib <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> families were created in June 2000 using unrelated <italic>F</italic><sub>1</sub> male and female plants. <italic>F</italic><sub>1</sub> hybrids had been created by crossing male <italic>S. eriocephala</italic> with female <italic>S. sericea</italic> – the reciprocal cross does not produce viable seeds (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C40">Mosseler and Papadopal, 1989</xref>). <italic>F</italic><sub>1</sub> hybrid plants had been growing in a breeding garden for at least 2 years before <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> crosses were created.

At this early developmental stage, willow seedlings are highly susceptible to slug herbivory, and variation in secondary chemistry is likely to result in non-random susceptibility to slugs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). Sixty trays (4320 <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> seedlings in total) were placed in the field among naturally occurring willows in areas where slugs were abundant. Five additional control trays of <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> seedlings were placed in the field and kept free of slugs by placing trays on inverted plastic pots in trays filled with water, thereby creating a moat. Five additional control trays were kept in the greenhouse to ensure that we had control plants available in case the control trays in the field experienced herbivory or unexpected mortality.</p><p>Slug herbivory occurs primarily at night when humidity is high (R.S.F. and C.G.H. pers. obs.). Herbivory on seedlings in each tray was monitored daily. Each tray was removed from the field when ≤10 seedlings remained (i.e. when mortality reached approx. 85 %). This level was chosen because it provided a very intensive level of potential phenotypic selection but still left enough surviving seedlings for subsequent studies. All trays were removed from the field within 7 d. Of the 408 seedlings that survived slug herbivory, many lost some leaf tissue, suggesting that slugs sampled and rejected them. Surviving seedlings from slug-selected trays were combined into full trays of 72 seedlings. Both control and slug-selected (those exposed to herbivory by slugs where the surviving plants were avoided) seedlings were allowed to continue growing in the greenhouse for 5 weeks. All seedlings were transplanted to 3·7 L pots in a mixture of topsoil, vermiculite and peat moss (4:1:1) and allowed to overwinter within a fenced-in plot at the field site. In the spring of 2001, overwintered plants were transplanted into 7·8 L pots with the same soil mixture and fertilized with 13 g of Osmocote<sup>®</sup> N:P:K 10:10:10 per pot. Some plants were used to evaluate susceptibility to differing phytophages (see below), while other plants continued to grow in our fenced area with irrigation and periodic fertilization.</p></sec><sec id="s2c"><title>Chemical analyses</title><p>Leaf samples for chemical analyses were collected from seedlings before the experiment, 5 weeks following the experiment (August 2000) and in the following year (June 2001). Induction in willows tends to be weak (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C18">Fields and Orians, 2006</xref>), and thus herbivores cannot cause a plant that produces low phenolic glycoside to produce high concentrations. Moreover, sampling across 2 years allows us to determine if the relative differences between the two populations were able to be evaluated for consistency over time. Samples were returned to the laboratory, vacuum dried, and ground into powder using a Wiley Mill with size 30 mesh. The concentrations of tannins, phenolic glycosides and protein were measured for all samples.

This is despite that fact that the levels of defences in these plants were such that they could have deterred the slugs (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). Rather, phytochemical responses involved shifts in plant nutritive and growth traits. Slug-selected plants had higher levels of protein, nitrogen and carbon, and a lower C/N ratio than control plants. Slug-selected plants also produced more shoot biomass and had a higher shoot/root ratio than control plants. Interestingly, selection by the exotic slug, <italic>A. subfuscus</italic>, caused changes in susceptibility in an F<sub>2</sub> seedling population; the surviving plant population became less palatable to <italic>A. subfuscus</italic>. Selection also led to correlated responses; slug-selected plants were more susceptible to three phytophages, i.e. a native pathogen, a native beetle herbivore and an introduced beetle species.</p><p>These differences reflect real differences in growth rate; all cuttings were planted synchronously, and shoot and root biomass were corrected for cutting size, so any difference in size was based on differences in the intrinsic growth of control and slug-selected plants. Differences were not due to environmental differences since all plants had been grown from cuttings, had been kept in a common garden and had been sprayed to prevent herbivore damage. Thus, our findings demonstrate that clones of plants that survived phenotypic selection (i.e. plants that survived slug herbivory as seedlings) were physiologically and nutritionally superior compared with control plants.</p><p>Overall, we expected plants to be better defended and of lower nutritional value. The fact that surviving plants were nutritionally superior was quite unexpected. Perhaps developmental changes that occur in chemical defence of willow seedlings can help explain why nutritive chemistry changed in response to selection by slugs. Although slugs prefer to feed on willow seedlings with low phenolic glycoside concentrations (<italic>S. eriocephala</italic>) over those with high concentrations of phenolic glycosides (<italic>S. sericea</italic>), all seedlings are susceptible to slugs when they are small (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). In this system, as well as for other species, older (and larger) seedlings are less susceptible to herbivores (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C1">Albrectsen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>; Goodger <italic>et al.</italic>, 2007; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C15">Elger <italic>et al.</italic>, 2009</xref>). Moreover, in our system, fast-growing seedlings often produce higher concentrations of secondary chemicals (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C1">Albrectsen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2004</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C48">Orians <italic>et al.</italic>, 2010</xref>). Therefore, selection during this early window of vulnerability could have been on traits associated with plant growth rate and, indirectly, defence. Specifically, we hypothesize that faster growing hybrid willow seedlings reached a size threshold where they could produce higher concentrations of defences (tannins, phenolic glycosides and other unmeasured traits) or greater concentrations of deterrent volatiles [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C29">Hanley <italic>et al.</italic> (2013)</xref> report variation in mollusc olfactory selection of plants from different ontogenetic stages]. Importantly, this hypothesis does not require that the final constitutive levels of defence in mature plants differ between the more rapidly maturing seedlings and the more slowly maturing ones. If this hypothesis is correct, the result would be greater consumption of the smaller, slower growing seedlings that had lower levels of defences or less volatile emission. Although still untested, further study in this and other systems to determine whether subtle differences in size can be responsible for the differential seedling survival deserves evaluation.</p><p>A consequence of selection favouring higher nutritional quality of surviving plants was that they were more attractive to other herbivores. Although leaves of plants from the selected population were less susceptible to slugs (as might be expected since these were avoided in the selection), they were more susceptible to the rust fungus and the two beetle species. The physiological changes caused by slug selection may explain the increased damage caused by other phytophages. Beetle feeding (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C63">Wait <italic>et al.</italic>, 1998</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C45">Orians and Fritz, 1996</xref>) and <italic>Melampsora</italic> infection (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C14">Desprez-Loustau and Wagner, 1997</xref>) are often greater on plants with greater vigour. Because both <italic>Melampsora</italic> and <italic>Chysomela</italic> beetles can cause reduced fitness in willows and poplars (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C54">Roche and Fritz, 1998</xref>, and references therein; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C3">Andersen and Nelson, 2002</xref>), changes caused by slug herbivory seems to be detrimental to these plants by increasing their susceptibility to other herbivores.</p><p>Taken together, these results are consistent with previous work demonstrating that selection on seedlings can dramatically alter the genetic structure of a population (reviewed by <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C60">Stratton, 1992</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C38">Linhart and Grant, 1996</xref>). Herbivory has been shown to reduce a seedling's ability to compete, thereby indirectly causing seedling mortality and changing the genetic structure of the population (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C49">Prittinen <italic>et al.</italic>, 2003</xref>). Although seedlings can experience strong selection (e.g. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C60">Stratton, 1992</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C26">Hanley <italic>et al.</italic>, 1995<italic>a</italic></xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C19">Fritz <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>), seedlings are generally not considered in estimates of selection in plant populations (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C9">Bennington and McGraw, 1995</xref>). Provided that physiological changes caused by slug selection are heritable in this willow system, a rapid change in the genetic structure could occur in response to this exotic herbivore species. Selection by this slug at an early stage in plant development may therefore play a significant role in changing the genetic structure of <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> hybrids, ultimately affecting patterns of introgression.</p><p>These results also add to the increasing evidence for the importance of exotic herbivores to native plant species. We found that this exotic slug is acting as an important selective force. Moreover, cascading effects are anticipated in response to invasion (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C57">Sakai <italic>et al.</italic>, 2001</xref>). The extent of the response of these <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> willow seedlings to a single bout of phenotypic selection by an exotic herbivore underscores the potential evolutionary impact exotic species can have on native species. In addition, trade-offs are common in response to specific genetic changes, and can be related to limiting resources, ecological in nature or due to genetic constraints (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C61">Strauss <italic>et al.</italic>, 2002</xref>; <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="MCT002C46">Orians and Ward, 2010</xref>). Selection can, as shown here, increase susceptibility to native phytophages, and can result in changes in physiological adaptation to abiotic environmental factors. Each of these could lead to lower plant fitness and reduced competitive ability in natural communities. Finally, selection by exotic herbivores could reduce the genetic diversity of native species.</p><p>In conclusion, the present study shows that the exotic slugs clearly changed the population structure of the <italic>F</italic><sub>2</sub> hybrid willows. However, the findings were quite unexpected in terms of defence expression. We find it striking that this herbivore changed the nutritional and growth traits of the plant population and caused it to become less well adapted to other herbivores. This result is even more interesting in light of the fact that the herbivore is an invasive exotic species. The potentially maladaptive consequences of a response to selection by an exotic species have not previously been observed. Given the recent increase in species invasions in ecosystems around the world, this detrimental outcome may commonly occur in many natural environments, and this deserves more careful analysis.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</title><p>This work has been supported by NSF grants BSR 96-15038 and DEB 99-81406 to R.S.F., DEB 99-81568 to C.M.O. and DEB 01-27369 to C.G.H.
