Sensory mechanisms for the shift from phytophagy to haematophagy in mosquitoes
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2022The Culicomorpha are an infraorder of several families of blood-feeding flies, including mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). Here we discuss the evolutionary origins of blood-feeding within the Culicomorpha and review literature that suggests this behaviour may have evolved from ancestral plant-feeding or a combination of plant-feeding and insect-feeding.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2022 Phytophagy has promoted species diversification in many insect groups, including Hymenoptera, one of the most diverse animal orders on Earth. In the predominantly parasitoid family Braconidae, an association with insect-induced, plant galls in ...

Phytophagy in the Genus Monitoriella (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with Description of New Species
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1995Exposures of uninfested plants to mated females were used to confirm data from field collections that suggested the braconid wasp Monitoriella elongata was phytophagous, producing galls on Philodendron radiatum . We predict that all members of the genus Monitoriella are phytophagous.

Salivary proteins of plant-feeding hemipteroids – implication in phytophagy
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2013AbstractMany hemipteroids are major pests and vectors of microbial pathogens, infecting crops. Saliva of the hemipteroids is critical in enabling them to be voracious feeders on plants, including the economically important ones. A plethora of hemipteroid salivary enzymes is known to inflict stress in plants, either by degrading the plant tissue or by ...

The mullein bug, Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dur) (Hemiptera: Miridae), a palearctic zoophytophagous insect or plant-feeding predator, is common in apple orchards of North America. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the biotic environment (extraguild prey and intraguild predators) on the phytophagy of this zoophytophagous bug.

Phytophagy by the Mullein Bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) on Apples: Feeding Behavior and Fruit Damage.
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2016The zoophytophagous mullein bug, Campylomma verbasci (Meyer-Dür) (Hemiptera: Miridae), is a beneficial predator of mites and aphids, but also a pest causing damage when it feeds on apples. The aim of this study was to evaluate three different parameters of phytophagy of the mullein bug both in laboratory (phytophagous behavior) and field (fruit damage)

Feeding performances of 3509 male and 4838 female sandflies, Sergentomyia ingrami, fed on 46 native or indigenous and exotic or introduced species belonging to 21 families of plants found in Kenya were examined. The results indicated more feeding on certain families than on others. The most used families were Musaceae, Araceae and Compositae, while the
