aAMF inoculation indicates two treatment groups with vital or autoclaved sterile AMF
bHerbivory refers to plants that were or were not exposed to a 24 h period of herbivory prior to introduction of bioassay caterpillars
cTime refers to when plants assigned to previous herbivory treatments were exposed to herbivory or empty clip cages (8, 4, 2, and 1 d before the introduction of bioassay caterpillars)
dBold values indicate significant effects at P < 0.05
