Experience of insect herbivores and their natural enemies in the natal habitat is considered
to affect their likelihood of accepting a similar habitat or plant/host during dispersal. Growing …

The effects of temporal variation in the quality of short-lived annual plants on oviposition
preference and larval performance of insect herbivores has thus far received little attention …

As food resources for herbivorous insects, the quality and quantity of plants can directly
affect the performance of herbivorous insects; it will also indirectly affect the performance of …

Plant chemical defense and coevolved detoxification mechanisms in specialized
herbivorous insects are fundamental in determining many insect–plant interactions. For …

Although host-plant selection is a central topic in ecology, its general underpinnings are
poorly understood. Here, we performed a case study focusing on the publicly available data …

Interactions between butterflies and caterpillars in the genus Pieris and plants in the family
Brassicaceae are among the best explored in the field of insect–plant biology. However, we …

Most herbivorous insects can only survive on a small subset of the plant species in its
environment. Consequently, adult females have evolved sophisticated sensory recognition …

Spatial‐temporal realism is often missing in many studies of multitrophic interactions, which
are conducted at a single time frame and/or involving interactions between insects with a …

Plants have evolved intriguing defences against insect herbivores. Compared to constitutive
defences that are always present, plants can respond with inducible defences when they are …

In herbivorous insects, the interaction between adult preference and progeny performance
on specific host plants is modified by maternal feeding experience and host plant quality …
