Mosquito phytophagy – sources exploited, ecological function, and evolutionary transition to haematophagy [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2019 AbstractFor a very long time, mosquitoes have been known or suspected to consume plant liquids. Recently eclosed mosquitoes cannot survive long without consuming sugary plant liquids that provide fuel for flight and enable blood‐feeding and mating. Populations of even highly synanthropic mosquitoes may not be able to persist without phytophagy, even ...

The Phylogenetic Study of Adaptive Zones: Has Phytophagy Promoted Insect Diversification? [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 1988 Simpson's postulate that rapid diversification follows entrance into a new "adaptive zone" is frequently invoked a posteriori for groups of unusual diversity. The postulate can be tested more rigorously by defining an adaptive zone according to ecological criteria, independent of particular groups of organisms.
