Circumvention of plants' elemental defences by their predators may occur in three ways: selective feeding on low-metal tissues, use of a varied diet to dilute metal-containing food (likely more efficient in large-sized herbivores), and tolerance of high dietary metal content. 2, record 1, English, - selective%20feeding
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Selective feeding of herbivores may also lead to changes in vegetation composition. Herbivory may further cause a thinning of plant populations, which may lead to increased growth of the remaining plants, and thus compensation of the herbivore damage. 3, record 1, English, - selective%20feeding

Les défenses élémentales des plantes sont circonvenues par leurs prédateurs de trois façons : (a) nourrissement sélectif sur des tissus à concentration en métaux peu élevée, (b) régime varié pour diluer le métal (vraisemblable pour les herbivores de grande taille relativement aux plantes), et (c) tolérance de hautes concentrations de métal. 1, record 1, French, - nourrissement%20s%C3%A9lectif
