Table D1. Herbivores noted on Brassica nigra in a common-garden experimental site on the campus of the University of California, Davis, California, USA. The herbivores were observed over two field seasons. In the first season, the gardens were occupied by B. nigra populations that had been collected from California (low and high sinigrin genotypes). In the second season, the gardens were occupied by 22 B. nigra populations collected from across Europe, Mediterranean region, and USA (Illinois, Michigan, New York, and California). Herbivores in boldface type were also noted in a native range experimental site in Granada, Spain.
