Characterization of the Omnivorous <i>Lygus lineolaris</i> Diet in a Strawberry Field by Metataxonomy. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study employs metataxonomy to reveal the extensive omnivorous diet of Lygus lineolaris in a strawberry field, identifying 475 host taxa and confirming active ingestion across plant and prey sources. We introduce a novel coefficient of omnivory, demonstrating the species' strong herbivorous bias while highlighting its dietary flexibility and ...
