Single and MultipleInfestation by Coccoid Pests inCoffee Shape Plant Chemical Defenses and Interactions Across TrophicLevels

Abstract Crop plants are attacked by multiple pests, inducing metabolic changes that shape interactions across trophic levels and influence the effectiveness of biological control. We examined how infestation by the coccoids Coccus viridis (scales) and Planococcus citri (mealybug...
