Abstract: Abstract The performance (development and reproduction) of generalist predators can vary greatly among the prey species that they use, and these differences can influence the ability of predatory insects to suppress pest populations. The aim… read more here.

Abstract: Diet specialisation drives life‐history adaptations and is an important factor determining the geographic distribution of species. Previous empirical studies have shown that diet specialists should compose the majority of species in a given location, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00656
Abstract: Terrestrial tri-trophic interactions account for a large part of biodiversity, with approximately 75% represented in plant–insect–parasitoid interactions. Herbivore diet breadth is an important factor mediating these tri-trophic interactions, as specialisation can influence how herbivore fitness… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects11090645
Abstract: Simple Summary Solitary bees are important pollinators in managed and wild ecosystems. Across the bee phylogeny, bees may forage on a single species of plant, few plant species, or a broad diversity of plants. During… read more here.
