Diet Breadth In Insect Herbivores

Together they form a unique fingerprint.

Diet breadth in insect herbivores. Here we use a global dataset to investigate host range for over 7 500 insect herbivore species covering a wide taxonomic breadth and interacting with more than 2 000 species of plants in 165. An understanding of the role of gene expression plasticity in herbivore diet breadth sheds light on our understanding of life history evolution coevolution between plants and insects and ultimately the mechanisms that generate diversification. However uncertainty persists regarding fundamental features of herbivore diet breadth including its relationship to latitude and plant species richness. One species heliothis virescens hv has a broad host range feeding on plants in at least 14 families.

Together they form a unique fingerprint. However uncertainty persists regarding fundamental features of herbivore diet breadth including its relationship to latitude and plant species richness. Fundamental features of herbivore diet breadth including its relationship to latitude and plant species richness. We examined the nutritional correlates of diet breadth in insect herbivores by comparing patterns of diet selection nutrient balancing post ingestive utilization and development in two sister species of caterpillar and a hybrid between them.

Here we use a global dataset to investigate host range for over 7 500 insect herbivore species covering a wide taxonomic breadth and interacting with more than 2 000 species of plants in 165. Herbivory medicine life sciences. Fingerprint dive into the research topics of the global distribution of diet breadth in insect herbivores.
