Primes¶
- Sequestration
- Boggs (2009) illustrates how this functional layering plays out in insect biology: many lepidopterans actively sequester plant-derived alkaloids and cardenolides into specialized integumentary or glandular compartments for defensive use, employing an underlying tissue boundary in service of an isolation-and-storage function distinct from mere partition.
This sourceDocuments how insects (especially Lepidoptera) actively sequester plant-derived alkaloids and cardenolides into specialized integumentary, glandular, or fat-body compartments for defensive use, demonstrating tissue-level boundary serving an isolation-and-storage function.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
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.
