Interactions between chilean matorral shrubs and phytophagous insects
Oecologia, 1980Lithraea caustica (Mol.) H. et Arn. and Colliguaya odorifera Mol. are two sclerophyllous shrubs of the scrub vegetation in Central Chile. These two species commonly grow in close association on equator-facing slopes. Leaves of L. caustica are severely predated upon by phytophagous insects while those of C. odorifera are rarely attacked.

PHYTOPHAGOUS INSECT–MICROBE MUTUALISMS AND ADAPTIVE EVOLUTIONARY DIVERSIFICATION
Evolution, 2008Adaptive diversification is a process intrinsically tied to species interactions. Yet, the influence of most types of interspecific interactions on adaptive evolutionary diversification remains poorly understood. In particular, the role of mutualistic interactions in shaping adaptive radiations has been largely unexplored, despite the ubiquity of ...

Mechanisms for regulating oxygen toxicity in phytophagous insects
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 1990The antioxidant enzymatic defense of insects for the regulation of oxygen toxicity was investigated. Insect species examined were lepidopterous larvae of the cabbage looper (Trichoplusia ni), southern armyworm (Spodoptera eridania), and black swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes).

Sympatric Speciation in Phytophagous Insects: Moving Beyond Controversy?
Annual Review of Entomology, 2002▪ Abstract Sympatric speciation is the splitting of one evolutionary lineage into two without the occurrence of geographic isolation. The concept has been intimately tied to entomology since the 1860s, when Benjamin Walsh proposed that many host-specific phytophagous insects originate by shifting and adapting to new host plant species.

Plant lectins as defense proteins against phytophagous insects
Phytochemistry, 2011One of the most important direct defense responses in plants against the attack by phytophagous insects is the production of insecticidal peptides or proteins. One particular class of entomotoxic proteins present in many plant species is the group of carbohydrate-binding proteins or lectins.

The Sympatric Origin of Phytophagous Insects
1997Global estimates of the number of insect species now range from 10 to 30 million and the tally keeps growing. This means that roughly 75–95% of all living eukaryotic organisms are insects. No matter which figure you care to choose, the numbers are impressively large.

Sympatric Speciation in Phytophagous Parasitic Insects
1975The appearance of new insect pests on economically important plants is a well-known phenomenon to many applied biologists. In addition, populations of introduced or native insects are frequently encountered which exhibit different host preferences, but which are morphologically indistinguishable from one another (Brues 1924, Simms 1931, Mayr 1942 ...

Chemical ecology of oviposition in phytophagous insects
Experientia, 1989Selection of a suitable site for oviposition by phytophagous insects is critical for successful development of the offspring. The behavioral events leading to oviposition are mediated to a large extent by chemical cues associated with potential host plants.
