DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02222-7
Abstract: For insect herbivores, a critical niche requirement—possibly the critical niche requirement—is the presence of suitable host plants. Current research suggests that non-native plants are not as suitable as native plants for native herbivores, resulting in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42965-021-00148-3
Abstract: Human-induced habitat modification is among the main factors that threaten biodiversity on the planet. For highly specialized herbivorous insects, such as galling insects, anthropogenic disturbances that affect plants can have great effects on insects. In… read more here.
