Ecological plasticity and genetic diversity of the mango blossom gall midge, Procontarinia Mangiferae (Felt), in Reunion Island : O306F12 Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Phytophagous insects that belong to the Cecidomyiidae family are among the most closely associated with their host plants. Phytophagous insects can specialize not only on a unique host plant but on particular parts of plants as well.

Variation in physiological host range in three strains of two species of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Knowledge of the host range of a biocontrol agent (BCA) is fundamental. Host range determines the BCA's economic potential, as well as the possible risk for non-target organisms. Entomopathogenic fungal strains belonging to the genus Beauveria are widely
