- | How would the infection by horizontally-transmitted pathogens on the caterpillar population be altered with the induction of cannibalism? | + | Build a hypothetical field scenario for this plant-herbivore interaction, |
+ | ===== Questions and challenges ===== | ||

+ | * Are there different approaches to introduce (i) and (ii) into population dynamics? | ||
+ | * How the relative strength of these two effects may influence population balance? | ||
