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 ...
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 ...
Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest
(Soc Botanica Brasil, 2020-01-01)
Though they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas. Due to the complex ...
Host specificity in the host-seeking larva of the dipteran parasitoid Mallophora ruficauda and the influence of age on parasitism decisions
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-02)
Larvae of the robber fly Mallophora ruficauda are ectoparasitoids of white grubs and adults are an important apiculture pest in Argentina. Females oviposit on tall grasses and the second instar larva actively searches and ...
A meta-analysis of host specificity in Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)
Host specificity of Neotropical hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) was analyzed by using the number of hosts species for each tick species and the index of host specificity STD*, which integrates phylogenetic and ecological ...
