Relationship Between the Host Plant Range of Insects and Symbiont Bacteria [PDF]
The evolution of phytophagous insects has resulted in the development of feeding specializations that are unique to this group. The majority of current research on insect palatability has concentrated on aspects of ecology and biology, with relatively ...
