66 THOMPSON & PELLMYR infer patterns in the evolution of oviposition behavior within the
Lepidoptera from a wealth of studies, and this order has continued to be among the major …

The expanding field of insect-plant relationships has long focused on the process by which
phytophagous insects find and accept their host plants. Since Thorsteinson's classic review …

Plant phenolics are secondary metabolites that encompass several classes structurally
diverse of natural products biogenetically arising from the shikimate-phenylpropanoids …

The current concepts of host plant resistance to insects are reviewed in this book. The broad
coverage includes crop plant and insect diversity, mechanisms of insect-plant interactions …

▪ Abstract This review points out the problem of processing multiple sensory inputs and
provides evidence that generalists suffer a disadvantage compared with specialists with …

Over the past 40 years there has been an extraordinary effort to understand the relationships
of plant-feeding insects and their hosts. Anyone who is studying such problems knows the …

Plant secondary metabolism constitutes a large reservoir of natural chemical diversity that
encompasses an enormous range of compounds and enzymes, and a wide spectrum of …

Catharanthus roseus is the sole commercial source of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids
(MIAs), vindoline and catharanthine, components of the commercially important anticancer …

Selection of a suitable site for oviposition by phytophagous insects is critical for successful
development of the offspring. The behavioral events leading to oviposition are mediated to a …

Specializing on host plants with toxic secondary compounds enforces specific adaptation in
insect herbivores. In this review, we focus on two compound classes, iridoid glycosides and …
