INSECTS: Implications for Diet Breadth and Evolution of Host Affiliation
■ Abstract This review points out the problem of processing multiple sensory inputs and provides evidence that generalists suffer a disadvantage compared with specialists with respect to efficiency of host plant choice and discrimination. The specialists’ mechanisms for improved efficiency are discussed as well as some of the processes that may be selected to increase processing efficiency in g...

متن کاملAnt association facilitates the evolution of diet breadth in a lycaenid butterfly.
The role of mutualistic interactions in adaptive diversification has not been thoroughly examined. Lycaenid butterflies provide excellent systems for exploring mutualistic interactions, as more than half of this family is known to use ants as a resource in interactions that range from parasitism to mutualism. We investigate the hypothesis that protection from predators offered to caterpillars b...
متن کاملHappiness by association: breadth of free association influences affective states.
Several studies have demonstrated that affective states influence the number of associations formed between remotely related concepts. Someone in a neutral or negative affective state might draw the association between cold and hot, whereas someone in a positive affective state might spontaneously form the more distant association between cold and sneeze. Could the reverse be true, that generat...
متن کاملThe global distribution of diet breadth in insect herbivores.
Understanding variation in resource specialization is important for progress on issues that include coevolution, community assembly, ecosystem processes, and the latitudinal gradient of species richness. Herbivorous insects are useful models for studying resource specialization, and the interaction between plants and herbivorous insects is one of the most common and consequential ecological ass...
