Biology of the Plant Bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae): Pests, ...
suggested that aggressive heteropteran predators do not evolve into
phytophagous lineages. Instead, he hypothesized the sequence of preying on
litter inhabitants, feeding on inactive prey such as eggs and scale insects, and
phytophagy.

Species Revision and Generic Systematics of World Rileyinae ...
Obligately phytophagous genera are not known in Rileyinae s.s. and are found
only in Eurytominae, which appears to indicate that phytophagy can be uniquely
derived in the mainly entomophagous Eurytominae. All putative sister taxa ...

Handbuch D.zoologie Bd.4/35 Kristensen:lepid.1ae
That is, if we allow that larval phytophagy on higher plants might be a
homologous trait, the most parsimonious hypothesis of ancestral conditions is
evolution of all Lepidoptera except Micropterigoidea from a higher plant-feeding
common ...

... at the generic or family level. We have seen previously that phytophagy among
insects is rather irregularly distributed among the various orders. It also exists
among some other arthropods, including several arachnids, and some myriapods
.

intensity of phytophagy and net primary production. Net primary production often
peaks at low to moderate intensities of phytophagy, supporting the grazing ...

The Evolutionary Biology of Flies
Notably these two taxonomic isolates of dipteran larval phytophagy occur within a
broad swath of animal predation, parasitoidism, parasitism, saprophagy, and
microvory (Fig. 9.2). Additionally, within these superfamilies, the phytophagous ...

essential nutrients that are not available in animal food (Gillespie and McGregor
2000). The benefits of phytophagy are specific for each species and depend on
predator age, the type of prey, and the effects of plant compounds on the total diet

Insects as Natural Enemies: A Practical Perspective
8.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter considers ways in which phytophagy by
parasitoids and predators may be studied, particularly with respect to
conservation biological control programmes that involve the manipulation of
insect natural ...

The Insects: An Outline of Entomology
8.6 INSECT DIVERSIFICATION An estimated half of all insect species chew, suck
, gall, or mine the living tissues of higher plants (phytophagy), yet only nine (of 30
) extant insect orders are primarily phytophagous. This imbalance suggests that ...

Environmental Impact of Invertebrates for Biological Control ...
In order to predict the effects of plant feeding by natural enemies it is necessary
first to determine the factors responsible for facultative phytophagy, then to
assess the possible resultant yield loss, and finally to identify the level of
phytophagy by ...
