Host plant selection by a monophagous herbivore is not mediated by quantitative changes in unique plant chemistry : Agonopterix alstroemeriana and Conium maculatum [PDF]
, 2008 Host plant selection by ovipositing females is a key process determining the success of phytophagous insects. In oligophagous lepidopterans, host-specific plant secondary chemicals are expected to be dominant factors governing oviposition behavior ...

Co‐foundress confinement elicits kinship effects in a naturally sub‐social parasitoid
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 33, Issue 8, Page 1068-1085, August 2020., 2020 Sub‐social parasitoid brood sex ratios respond to foundress number if foundresses are non‐siblings but not if they are sibs. Abstract Kinship among interacting individuals is often associated with sociality and also with sex ratio effects. Parasitoids in the bethylid genus Goniozus are sub‐social, with single foundress females exhibiting post ...

Studien an Depressarien (Lep. Oecophoridae)
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (neue Folge), 1988 The genitalia of ♂ and ♀ of A. abjectella Christoph are described and documented by figures. Agonopterix incarnatella Zeller is presumptively a „variety” of A. laterella Den. & Schiffm. A. mutatella sp. n. and Exaeretia nigromaculata sp. n. are described and figured.

Geographical variation in alkaloid production in Conium maculatum populations experiencing differential herbivory by Agonopterix alstroemeriana [PDF]
, 2005 Conium maculatum, a Eurasian weed naturalized in North America, contains high concentrations of piperidine alkaloids, which act as chemical defenses against herbivores. In the United States, C.

Why do leaf-tying caterpillars abandon their leaf ties? [PDF]
, 2013 Leaf-tying caterpillars act as ecosystem engineers by building shelters between overlapping leaves, which are inhabited by other arthropods. Leaf-tiers have been observed to leave their ties and create new shelters (and thus additional microhabitats ...
