The electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique is a powerful tool for studying feeding
behavior of pierce-sucking insects, because it allows quantification of complex insect–plant …

Not only is ecological specialization a defining feature of much of Earth's biological diversity,
the evolution of specialization may also play a central role in generating diversity by …
