Host specific reproductive benefits, host selection behavior and host use pattern of the pinnotherid crab Calyptraeotheres garthi
(Elsevier Science, 2012-11)
In organisms using a wide variety of refuges, both the cost and benefits to the users might be refuge-specific. Under these circumstances, users using mechanisms (e.g., behavioral preference) that allow them to find and ...
Host selection by the generalist aphid Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its subspecies specialized on tobacco, after being reared on the same host
(2005)
Decision-making during host selection by phytophagous insects has proved to be related to host range, with specialists taking faster decisions than generalists; however, this pattern fails to materialize in some host ...
Assessment of correlational selection on tolerance and resistance traits in a host plant-parasitic plant interaction
(Springer, 2001)
Resistance and tolerance are considered to be different plant strategies against disease. While resistance traits prevent hosts becoming parasitized or reduce the extent of parasitism, tolerance traits reduce the fitness-impact ...
The Role of Males in Host-Fruit Selection by Females of a Walnut Infesting Tephritid (Diptera) Rhagoletis zoqui
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2016-01)
Rhagoletis zoqui Bush flies have a mating system in which males guard and defend walnut fruit-hosts from other males and mate, apparently without courtship, with females as they arrive to oviposit. Hypothetically, female ...
Differences in learning and memory of host plant features between specialist and generalist phytophagous insects
(Elsevier, 2015)
Insects are able to learn from experience acquired in their natal habitat, thereby obtaining adaptive
advantages. However, the acquisition of new information could involve defects in retrieving previously
learned information ...
Effects of quantitative and qualitative differences in volatiles from host- and non-host-infested maize on the attraction of the larval parasitoid Cotesia kariyai
(2017-04-01)
Cotesia kariyai Watanabe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a specialist larval parasitoid of Mythimna separata Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Cotesia kariyai wasps use herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) to locate hosts. ...
Behavioural differences during host selection between alate virginoparae of generalist and tobacco-specialist Myzus persicae
(2005)
Host plant selection and acceptance by aphids involves four consecutive steps: (1) prealighting behaviour, (2) leaf surface exploration and probing of subepidermal tissues, (3) deep probing of plant tissues, and (4) ...
Host selection by the generalist aphid myzus persicae (hemiptera : aphididae) and its subspecies specialized on tobacco, after being reared on the same host
(COMMONWEALTH BUREAU OF ENTOMOLOGY, 2005)
Host preference of the bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2008)
It is largely known that the range of an insect diet is mostly determined by oviposition behavior, mainly in species with endophytic larvae such as Zabrotes subfasciatus. However, the proximate factors determining host ...
