Abstract
- Highlights: [•] Chemical defence was studied in plant populations from a natural aridity gradient. [•] Constitutive glucosinolate concentrations decreased with increasing site aridity. [•] Less enemies or limited resources may explain the reduced defence in the desert. [•] A ten-year rainfall manipulation caused no rapid evolution of defence profiles. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
