Primes¶

- The term was coined by Ehrlich and Raven (1964) to describe the reciprocal evolutionary escalation between butterflies and the plants they feed on, where each plant chemical defense provoked counter-detoxification in the insects, which provoked new defenses in turn.
This sourceCoined the term "coevolution," documenting reciprocal escalation between plant chemical defenses and the herbivorous insects (butterflies) that detoxify them.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
