Interrelationship Between Insects and Plants
Some cases which refer to oligophagy can hardly be explained, except perhaps
in chemical terms (disjunct oligophagy or temporary oligophagy). In the case of
Donaciinae, for instance, aquatic at the larval stage, the adult plant choice is ...

Many transitions exist between combined oligophagy and the following feeding
habits. Disjunctive oligophagy- The insects that live only on a limited number of
unrelated plants of different orders are termed disjunctive oligophagous.
Finally, third degree oligophagy applies when larva and adults feed on plants of
a variety of genera in different plant orders but still in related groups. There are
three other categories that Jolivet has established for oligophagous insects, they
...

... habit of oligophagy. 3. The insect may feed upon a wide range of unrelated
hosts during one part of the year but restrict itself to a single host species, or to a
few related host species, during the remaining portion of the year ; that is to say,

Advances in Insect physiology APL
Dethier (1947) suggested that monophagy was best defined in terms of a need
for one specific chemical attractant (or several confused by the insect as one),
and oligophagy in terms of a need for one of a few such factors; polyphagy is
then ...

It grades into disjunct oligophagy. Polyphagy does not imply that all plants are

in ...

Host-Plant Selection by Phytophagous Insects
The term "disjunct oligophagy" is sometimes used to refer to the feeding pattern
of an insect that feeds on a very small number of plants from different families
even though we do not understand the connection between these different plants
.
Elizabeth A. Bernays, Reginald F. Chapman, 1994
While among the Agromyzid species prevails monophagy of the second and third
degrees, rather restricted systematic oligophagy of the first degree also being
frequent, wide systematic oligophagy of the first, second and third degrees seems

grassland insect oligophagy (Fig. 1). It is very desirable to study insect-host
relationships in a variety of vegetational regions. A major dichotomy of insect-
host associations ...
