3.4 MONOPHAGY AND POLYPHAGY Many herbivorous animals eat a limited

Interrelationship Between Insects and Plants
The fly, Liriomyza cannabis (Liriomyzidae), which mines leaves of Can- nabis
sativa, the Indian hemp and a psychotropic drug, feeds on a monotypic genus,
the genus Cannabis, and resort to first-degree monophagy. A caterpillar, Eloria ...
Monophagy is subdivided into other categories depending on the number of host
plants for the insect species. In first degree monophagy the larvae and adults
feed only on one species of plant. Second degree monophagy occurs when the ...

Evolution of Insect Pests: Patterns of Variation
the factors that favor monophagy or polyphagy will be the same as when only
behavior can evolve. Few attempts have been made to model the joint evolution
of preference and performance (viability and fecundity) traits. Gould (1984) ...

Biology of Behaviour: Mechanisms, Functions and Applications
Such dietary selection would, in a few generations, result in this food being of
greater benefit than other foods. Genes which promoted a preference for this food
would then spread in the population and the first step towards monophagy would
...

Research on Chrysomelidae 4:
Our scenario (see Eben and Espinosa de los Monteros 2004 for more details)
shows that the basal lineages of Diabroticina feed exclusively on one plant family
(i.e. Fabaceae); therefore, the ancestral condition is monophagy (Figure 1).
Pierre Jolivet, Jorge Santiago-Blay, Michael Schmitt, 2013

Insects and Plants: Parallel Evolution & Adaptations, Second ...
Here is mentioned only the effect of hybridization on monophagy or oligophagy.
Plant hybrids or Chimaeras Plant hybrids, even chi- maeras, formed from a kind
of mosaic of tissues from different species in one plant, produced artificially by ...

Insect Populations In theory and in practice: In Theory and ...
Because of apparent competition, parasitoids may appear to be specialists, not
because of any physiological or ecological constraint, but purely because of the
dynamics, what Holt and Lawton (1993) have called dynamic monophagy.

Butterflies of New Jersey: A Guide to Their Status, ...
The highest level of host specificity (monophagy) occurs in those butterflies that
use a single plant species, for example, the Northern Metalmark uses only the
Round-leafed Ragwort and the Harris' Checkerspot only the Flat-topped Aster ...

Biology of Grasshoppers
Another difficulty arises because, as Uvarov (1977) and Rowell (1985a) point out,
the range of plants eaten, as determined by laboratory experiment, may not
coincide with food plant use in the field. In this paper I use the terms monophagy,
...
