Abstract
Chemical defense plays a central role for many herbivorous insects in their interactions with predators and host plants The leaf beetle genus Oreina Coleoptera Chrysomelidae includes species able to both sequester pyrrolizidine alkaloids and autogenously produce cardenolides Sequestered compounds are clearly related to patterns of hostplant use but variation in de novo synthesized cardenolides is less obviously linked to the environment In this study intraspecific variation in cardenolide composition was examined by HPLC–MS analysis in 18 populations of Oreina speciosa spanning Europe from the Massif Central to the Balkans This revealed the defense secretion to be a complex blend of up to 42 compounds per population There was considerable geographical variation in the total sample of 50 compounds detected with only 14 found in all sites The environmental and genetic influences on defense chemistry were investigated by correlation with distance matrices based on habitat factors hostplant use and genetics sequence data from COI COII and 16s rRNA This demonstrated an influence of both genetics and hostplant use on the overall blend of cardenolides and on the presence of some of the individual compounds The implications of this result are discussed for the evolution of defense chemistry and for the use of cardenolide compounds as markers of the evolutionary history of the species
